Downtown Stories, Community Visions
Downtown Stories, Community Visions is a project organized by Leah DePriest, a graduate student in Urban Planning at Miami University. The project seeks to give the community an active voice in establishing a common vision for the future of downtown Middletown. The community will be invited to share their stories and opinions about downtown Middletown with DePriest, and will also have the opportunity to participate in a series of community forums to continue building their vision for the future of downtown Middletown. Ultimately, the information DePriest gathers may aid city planners and designers in downtown revitalization efforts.
Share Your Stories To discover what you value about downtown Middletown, DePriest is gathering your personal stories from the past or present about your positive and negative experiences of the downtown area, as well as your thoughts on what you hope to see in the future in downtown Middletown. With your submission, feel free to submit copies of photos, newspaper articles, or anything else that you feel tells the story of downtown Middletown from your perspective. You are not required to label any documents or include your name in your submission. Please note that no part of your submissions will be returned.
