As the Villa Rica community continues to progress and aspire to a more walkable, livable, and economically competitive city, the Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study offers the opportunity to advance the vision for the Downtown Area, Historic Fullerville Mill District, and adjacent neighborhoods.
 
This planning effort will envision strategic recommendations and development concepts to transform the core of Villa Rica—Downtown and the Fullerville Mill District—into a signature district that is connected, walkable, vibrant, equitable, and livable. This vision must be creative and aspirational, but targeted and focused on the unique needs and challenges of a bustling modern renaissance city. This plan will also help to ensure that future investment aligns with the community’s vision.

Otherwise, continue scrolling to explore our initial ideas for the future of Downtown & Fullerville! Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be used to help us refine & prioritize the concepts below.
