EDA TO HOST CHARRETTE IN SEARCH OF IDEAS TO DEVELOP SAVANNE-DOWNSTREET COMMUNITY PLAN July 9, 2015 ST.

During the charrette, panelists who specialize in various topics that affect community and area development – in collaboration with the general public – will come together to share their ideas, opinions, recommendations and possible solutions to the challenges that exist in the areas of Savanne and Downstreet. Savanne-Downstreet is one of the designated enterprise zones in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Topics of discussion will include: Monday, July 13: Historic and Cultural Aspects of the Town. Tuesday, July 14: Environmental Impacts & Infrastructural Challenges. Wednesday, July 15: Social Issues and Housing. Thursday, July 16: Economic Development. The charrette will be held each day at 5:30 p.m. Charrette Center, Inc., describes a typical charrette as “an intensive, multi-disciplinary week-long design workshop designed to facilitate an open discussion between stakeholders of a development project. A team of design experts meets with community groups, developers and neighbors over a period from 3-4 days to 2 weeks long, gathering information on the issues that face the community. The charrette team then works together to find design solutions that will result in a clear, detailed, realistic vision for future development.” For more information, contact Nadine T.
