Public Workshop

Saturday, October 15 marked the opening workshop for the creation of a master plan for Columbia Town Center. Over 300 participants attended the workshop, which was held at Wilde Lake High School.

Workshop participants gathered at tables in groups of 7 to 10, to share their ideas and concerns about the future of Town Center.

Each group translated their ideas into guiding documents, which will be used by the design team to develop a final master plan for Town Center. These documents included maps that used a combination of pictures and drawings.

Written lists of ideas and concerns were also created to accompany the maps.

After completing the workshop exercise, each of the 36 groups had a member share their vision for Town Center with the other participants. The documents created by each group are on display on the 4th floor of the General Growth Properties Headquarters.
