The Walker Springs City zoning ordinance requires all developments within the city to be aesthetically pleasing. The pedestrian-friendly street also requires that buildings do not obstruct the view of other properties. Despite the fact that there are several businesses located along the street, there are few residents, so the overall feel of the area is a little low-key. However, a few businesses have opened up recently and remodeled their facades. Ultimately, residents of the city can expect to see a revitalized streetscape that is pleasing to the eye.
The study conducted stakeholder interviews at the start of the project and aims to reverse the deterioration of the area. Despite the region's decline, some areas have potential as redevelopment sites. Numerous developers have expressed interest in redeveloping these areas. Other organizations, including the Johnny Walker Homes, Wright Street Baptist Church and Cobb Family Re sources, are considering the area for redevelopment.
A new street connection between McDonald and Reynolds Streets was discussed. The proposed street runs parallel to Powder Springs Street and would provide an alternate north-south route, bypassing the parking lot at the Big Lots. The redevelopment plan is an opportunity to address the topographical issue. The city also offers a range of housing and employment options. In addition, the city has a vibrant downtown area.
