The City of Dothan's efforts to reimagine the heart of downtown and the Highway 84 East corridor have been recognized by the Alabama Chapter of the American Planning Association.
Dothan was recently selected to receive the 2022 Franklin M. Setzer Urban Design Award. The award, nominated by the Wiregrass Foundation, will be presented at this year’s chapter annual conference in Orange Beach.
While recognizing more than six years of planning focused on the Highway 84 East corridor, the award specifically recognizes the work currently being done to reimagine the Dothan City Center, according to a news release. The “Dothan City Center Design and Redevelopment Plan,” according to the release, presents a powerful urban design scheme that skillfully bridges the architecture of earlier times with new and varied design schemes to accommodate revitalization of the City Center.
