that will transform Downtown Troy into a destination which will
strengthen its economic presence through history, arts, entertainment, design,
and partnerships. - Vision
Statement
Below is a link to the proposed
Downtown Troy Plan - Vision 2026:
Downtown Troy plays a unique role
in providing retail and residential opportunities, as well as, being a center
for professional and governmental services for the area. The plan for Downtown
Troy is geared toward recognizing the distinct opportunities of the area that set
it apart from other retail and service areas; and then transforming those
opportunities into short-term and long-range development strategies that
enhance the visitor experience and further define and strengthen the role of
the Downtown Troy district.
The Downtown Troy Plan was funded
by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs through Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Planning Funds with matching funds provided by
the City of Troy. The planning process included citizen meetings, an open
studio workshop, and online surveys. The citizen input obtained through the
planning process was invaluable in developing a downtown plan that is
reflective of the citizens of Troy. Sincere appreciation is extended to those
leaders, citizens, downtown merchants, and property owners who took time to
attend those meetings and provide meaningful participation. As a result of
their input, this plan for historic downtown Troy has been prepared that is
responsive to both citizen concerns and citizen goals.

Thank You!
We express our gratitude to the following:
The Troy City Mayor and Council, because without their leadership and insight, this plan would not have been possible, and to the Troy Planning Commission for their guidance and input into the planning process.
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), which through the Community Development Block Program (CDBG) with matching funds provided by the City of Troy, funded this effort, and the consultants, South Central Alabama Development Commission (SCADC) and KPS Group, who brought their expertise and creativity to the project.
South Central Alabama Development Commission (SCADC) assisted with funding for three studies that were conducted during the planning process, which are (1) a transportation study by Skipper Consulting, Inc.; (2) a wayfinding system sign audit by McComm Group, Inc.; and (3) a bicycle/pedestrian connection study between Downtown Troy and Troy University by KPS Group.
The City of Troy Planning & Community Development department partnered with the consultant team to collect the inventory, create the public engagement strategy, organize and facilitate the public events and online methods to attract the Troy stakeholders, and help create the document you see here today.
We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed producing it.
