First night of the Idea Factory
The Idea Factory is located at 1 Dexter Plaza in the old Court Square office building. The office which the design will operate from will be open to the public for walkins if you would like to discuss ideas for development. The Idea Factory will take suggestions and formulate concrete ideas to present to the Montgomery Development Department. The different heads of the design and Development Department introduced themselves but their names escape me at this time. The Idea Factory will take place each Thursday from 5-7.
Next Thursday, the team will take discuss and take suggestions for restaurants/retail shops that you have visited in other cities the you would like to open in downtown. They have people in place to entice businesses to franchise if they do not already franchise.
This will be the next step from the charrettes as they are all complete as far as I know.
Cypress Creek is a large open natural habitat with wildlife not found in region. Its not a city project but a non profit group hopes to turn it into a natural park and arboretum. The creek feeds into the land was once unbructed but is now blocked by trash as it feeds to the Alabama River. It could be Montgomery's Central Park if fully developed.
