Town of Ayden Downtown Revitalization Charrette, Town of Ayden, NC
The North Carolina Department of Commerce's Small Town Main Street Program held a three-day design charrette to garner input from the Town's citizens and develop design recommendations to revitalize Ayden's downtown.
As part of the design team, Rivers participated in public workshops and developed conceptual plans and sketches for traffic calming initiatives, improved parking layouts, streetscape improvements, and public plaza design. Following the charrette, Small Town Main Street Program staff developed a planning document based upon the recommendations which will be utilized throughout the revitalization process as a design and development tool for Town administrators, officials, citizens, and property and business owners.
