Plan Commission Director Ralph Booker explained that with the new U.S. 31 project, it was time to update a chapter in the town’s plan to include an upgrade in several aspects of the town. The proposed changes include an upgrade in sidewalks so residents and visitors can safely walk about town; enhance the downtown corridor by creating an attractive and safe community; incorporate welcome signs, decorative lighting and other landscaping to create a friendlier atmosphere, develop a land use plan; and be proactive in the development in the new U.S. 31 realignment.
