City staff announced that Springville was selected to participate in DesignPlace Alabama, a program through the Alabama League of Municipalities that brings a multidisciplinary team of designers, planners and facilitators to a community for a short-term design charrette.
Staff described the program as producing conceptual drawings and project ideas—some high-cost and some low-cost—that can be used for grant applications and local project planning. The Economic Development Council (EDC) offered to pay for hotels and related hosting costs for visiting designers, and staff urged council members and departments to participate so the city can maximize the benefit of the visit.
No formal action was required; staff asked council members to note the event dates and to plan for community engagement during the DesignPlace visit.
