New Decatur strategic plan focuses on revitalizing retail | ajc.com

The draft, which covers 2011-2020, proposes the promotion of  Decatur as "a naturally occurring retirement community where people can stay in their homes and communities as they age.”

Related to this is a strategy for adopting universal design guidelines, the draft says, “to allow new buildings and homes to be visitable by those with mobility impairments.”

Other major points of the draft include creation of an urban forest management plan to assess Decatur’s existing tree canopy, and the expansion of the existing single-family residential recycling program to multifamily buildings and local businesses.
