Design firm HGOR to lead RiverLands Park master plan; council hears draft programming
Summary
Chattahoochee Now and HGOR presented a draft master‑planning process and park‑wide programming for the new RiverLands Park; councilmembers praised public engagement and the organized approach to design.
Shannon Kettering of Chattahoochee Now introduced the RiverLands Park master planning project and the selection of Atlanta‑based firm HGOR to prepare site analysis, programming, cost estimates and phased implementation. Steve Sanchez of HGOR presented draft park‑wide programming and a concept plan during the Aug. 4 meeting.
Councilmembers and staff described the process as thorough and inclusive of public input. "I love the way it is organized with public opinion. It makes me proud of our city," Councilmember Rodney Peek said during council remarks, expressing support for the planning process. The minutes record no formal vote on the master plan; the presentation was informational and will feed subsequent planning steps, design refinements and budgeting discussions.
Next steps: HGOR will proceed with analysis and planning tasks outlined in the city's scope of work; staff will bring implementation phasing and cost estimates to future council meetings for review and potential budget action.
