Feedback sought on West Carrollton downtown revitalization plan

The final meeting for public input is set for next week on a West Carrollton revitalization plan for the area that includes the former Fraser Paper Mill and the Olde Downtown area near Elm Street and Central Avenue.

The Wednesday open house from 5 to 7 p.m. at Fire Station 56 at 125 W. Central Ave. will be the last chance for feedback on preliminary short- and long-term concepts to be presented by the city and OHM Advisors, a consultant hired for the project.

About 200 people attended an August meeting aimed at soliciting feedback on a revitalization plan, according to the city.

The study, which is aimed at identifying a market-based, economically viable, sustainable vision for the area, is being funded by a grant from the Montgomery County Land Bank, according to the city.

The plan is set to be reviewed by the Planning Commission steering committee later this month before going to West Carrollton City Council.
