LYNDHURST FUNDING AND DESCRIPTION

I

n 2019, the Lyndhurst Foundation provided the City of Ringgold and the Institute of Government with $50,000 each to develop plans and begin renovation and revitalization of publicly owned properties within an area of former warehouses known as Depot Square. The project was imagined as a case study in small-town downtown revitalization. The Institute of Government was awarded $50,000 to provide technical assistance to plan, implement, and document the Ringgold Depot Square redevelopment project. The Lyndhurst Foundation provided $50,000 to the City of Ringgold for material and construction costs associated with rehabilitating city-owned properties and constructing a public restroom facility.

ince completing the Lyndhurstsponsored Ringgold Renaissance Strategic Vision and Plan in 2017, Ringgold has prioritized and begun implementing the plan’s recommendations. Under the capable and devoted leadership of Ringgold’s local government officials and staff members, new businesses have opened downtown, formerly vacant properties have been filled, streetscaping improvements have been installed, and industry in Ringgold has expanded. The city has also moved to improve and expand ongoing downtown events, cementing downtown as the center of local community life.

In the summer of 2018, the city began revitalizing city-owned properties near Ringgold City Hall.

Recommended and inspired by the Ringgold RSVP, regular events including seasonal “Downtown Nights” outdoor music concerts and a monthly craft market in a former warehouse have generated new activity and regularly attracted thousands of locals to downtown.

In March 2019, the Ringgold Downtown Development Authority (DDA) completed construction of Tennessee Street Infill Development at the corner of Tennessee and Mountain Street downtown. This new development brings 10,000 sq. ft. of new office

11

and potential restaurant space downtown. These ongoing improvements have spurred interest and investment in a block of former industrial buildings between Ringgold City Hall and downtown businesses along Nashville Street. With the support of the Lyndhurst Foundation, in 2019 designers and planners from the Institute of Government collaborated with officials from the City of Ringgold and the Ringgold DDA to develop site-specific plans to restore and revitalize properties in a former industrial area adjacent to the city’s historic depot. Ringgold worked with local architect Kenny McDade of KCP Architects to develop initial plans for the DDA-owned Benton Coal Building. These plans envisioned public restrooms and four new businesses in this central downtown property. Building on these initial designs, Institute of Government designers developed exterior design concepts for DDA-owned buildings in the area hereafter known as Depot Square. Plans developed for the city include an adjacent dining courtyard, new pedestrian-friendly streetscaping and public parking along Depot Street, and a landscaped rear service alley with parking and pedestrian amenities. Plans also outlined the future location for additional infill development and overflow parking.

3. DEPOT SQUARE PROPOSED RENDERING

City Manager Dan Wright and Main Street Manager Jamie Klementisz guide professionals from the Institute of Government through the Ringgold Depot Square project site in March 2019.

The gravel overflow parking area behind the Benton Coal Building creates the opportunity for a multipurpose rear service alley.

New sidewalks and raised crosswalks create safe pedestrian connections between new businesses and the remainder of downtown while better integrating the existing greenspace into new development. Landscaping that includes large-canopy willow oaks softens the hard lines of buildings and brings much-needed shade. Attractive screening and fencing matches materials used at Ringgold parks, connecting this development to the rest of the community.

2. DEPOT SQUARE CONCEPT PLAN

The initial concept for the Ringgold Depot Square includes expanded sidewalks and attractive streetscaping along Depot Street to better serve potential businesses at the restored Benton Coal Building. This concept reimagines the existing fenced parking area as a central courtyard with dining and entertainment. An improved event lawn adjacent to the Ringgold Marketplace serves regular events and festivals. Warehouse Row, a rear service alley, brings pedestrian connectivity, parking, landscaping, and a screened central service area to the middle of this downtown block. This concept also expands on and improves the existing landscaping at the Ringgold Welcome Center and identifies areas for potential overflow parking.

4. DOWNTOWN INFILL Completed in March 2019 at the corner of Tennessee and Mountain Street, the Tennessee Street Infill Development shown here helps meet the demand for more leasable space in downtown Ringgold. Supported by the Ringgold DDA and constructed by local firm Tyson and Associates Construction, this development received a Building Recognition in Chattanooga (BRIC) award in July 2019.

n January 2019, local architect Kenny McDade of KCP Architects developed initial design schematics of the Benton Coal Building for the DDA. After approving the designs, the DDA solicited an initial engineering study

by SCH Engineering. This report found that restoration was not advisable due to load requirements from removed walls, deficient materials used, and the necessity of bringing the building up to current code. The DDA then enlisted the assistance of Long & Arnold Engineering, a Ringgoldbased structural engineering firm, to determine what interventions would be necessary to bring the Benton Coal Building up to safe and habitable condition. Following recommendations from Long & Arnold Engineering, the city has worked with local contractors to develop estimates to shore up the existing building and allow for redevelopment on the site. Initial estimates to return the building to active use total approximately $460,000.

This sizable amount is larger than originally anticipated.

The project received another setback following a significant flash flood on July 9, 2019. Over the course of two hours, heavy rain flooded the historical downtown, inundating several businesses. Following the flood, the Ringgold mayor and council took immediate action, commissioning CTI Engineering to undertake a comprehensive $12,000 hydrology study of the area to identify any potential problem areas in the city’s stormwater infrastructure and determine what interventions may be necessary. City leaders hope to

use this study to build the infrastructure required to support both existing downtown businesses and allow expanded development in the Depot Square area. However, as with the initial engineering report, this unfortunate event has delayed redevelopment plans in the downtown district. On September 16, 2019, the Ringgold DDA discussed the costs of the project and agreed to get a proposal from the structural engineer to do more in-depth investigations of the Benton Coal Building, including core drilling and additional structural tests.

As of December 2019, these investigations and the CTI study are in progress. Following the recommendations of this report and with design assistance as necessary from the Institute of Government, Ringgold plans to collaborate with engineers at CTI to install whatever stormwater infrastructure is determined necessary downtown. Following recommendations from the hydrology study, Institute designers will update plans to create a vision that addresses stormwater and flooding concerns while attracting new activity and investment downtown. Once all plans have been finalized, the Institute of Government will develop a case study titled Ringgold Depot Square: Keys to Success in Downtown Revitalization.

LYNDHURST FUNDING AND DESCRIPTION

I

n 2019, Lyndhurst provided $20,000 for follow-up design and implementation of projects in the previously studied communities of Copper Basin and Chickamauga. In the Copper Basin, follow-up design and technical assistance allowed the community to further develop designs and begin to implement projects detailed in the 2018 RSVP, including downtown arrival signage at the Tennessee Valley Railroad, custom murals and reusable stencils, and promotional materials.

eginning in 2018, the Lyndhurst Foundation supported the first multicity, bi-state Renaissance Strategic Vision and Plan in the Copper Basin communities of McCaysville, Copperhill, and Ducktown. Following a long decline of mining and related manufacturing in the Copper Basin, for over two decades industrious local citizens in the Copper Basin have been slowly redefining their community and local economy.

Now with an economy built primarily around outdoor and regional tourism, citizens from across the Copper Basin, regional stakeholders, elected officials, and more came together to produce the Copper Basin Renaissance Strategic Vision and Plan (RSVP). This effort was seen as a way to coalesce around a shared vision to reshape this beloved place. To tell the story of this unique community, many locals identified the need for a unified brand integrating the cities and towns of the Copper Basin. In a first-of-its-kind effort, Institute of Government planners and faculty branding specialists worked with community members to develop a concise, unified community brand for the Copper Basin. Developed in tandem with the RSVP at no additional cost, this comprehensive branding strategy includes a branding usage guide, community and city logos, and a digital library of branding materials. Across the cities that make up the Copper Basin, community members and organizations have eagerly adopted the community brand developed as part of the Lyndhurst-supported RSVP. Civic and merchant groups, including the Copper Basin Business Association (formerly the Tri-Cities Business Association), have integrated branding materials into their outreach efforts.

20

With the support of the Lyndhurst Foundation, a new welcome sign was installed at the arrival area of the Tennessee Valley Railroad in Copperhill. This sign welcomes visitors, builds the community brand, and enhances visitors’ first impressions of the Copper Basin.

On June 27, 2019, local leaders and faculty from the Institute of Government delivered the final presentation of the Copper Basin RSVP and Regional Brand to a standing-room-only crowd at Burra Burra on the River. Over 200 community members, including House Speaker David Ralston, attended the final presentation.

With Lyndhurst support, the community has been able to implement a variety of downtown improvements, including signage at the Tennessee Valley Railroad, new murals and signage that use the community brand, and more.

RESULTS

E

ven prior to publication, the Copper Basin Renaissance Strategic Vision and Plan began to influence positive changes in the Copper Basin.

The Fannin County Chamber of Commerce and the Tri Cities Business Association, rechristened the Copper Basin Business Association, have embraced the community brand developed as part of the RSVP. The Fannin County Chamber now serves as the gatekeeper for the Copper Basin community brand, maintaining the online look book and providing logos and materials. Working with the chamber and business association, Institute designers developed attractive new maps of downtown merchants and attractions. These materials are now provided at the McCaysville Welcome Center, Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad, and other locations. With support from the Lyndhurst Foundation, new branded signage now welcomes visitors at the Tennessee Valley Railroad in Copperhill, improving the appearance of this key asset. Also with Lyndhurst support, Institute designers developed unique branded stencils for use as gateway and wayfinding signage throughout the Copper Basin. To date, these stencils have been delivered to the community and installed at a prominent downtown building.

Local entrepreneurs have begun capitalizing on the success and widespread adoption of the Copper Basin community brand. Adjacent to the Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad, the Copper Basin Mercantile Company now sells branded t-shirts, locally made gifts, and distinctive items to the community. With five employees and a wealth of unique inventory, this business has embraced the Copper Basin brand to create new economic opportunity downtown. Already, the community has given out 1,000 branded car decals promoting the community.

Following completion of the RSVP, Institute designers and planners continued collaborating with community leaders, creating plans and renderings for projects, including downtown murals, improved landscaping for public parking, and a plan for expanded parking and facilities at Horseshoe Bend Park. McCaysville has continued working to expand the city’s riverside public park, modernizing restroom facilities and improving the playground. Work is underway to expand the park by four acres, building on this important riverfront asset. Since the completion of the RSVP, McCaysville has further expanded downtown visitor parking, purchased new downtown benches, and worked to improve a walkway along the Toccoa River leading to the McCaysville Welcome Center.

23

McCaysville has made great progress improving access and amenities at the city’s popular riverfront park. The restroom facilities and playground shown here have all been updated.

These improvements are in addition to a new sidewalk along East Market Street, an expanded overflow parking area, and a four-acre park expansion currently underway.

“Initiatives like this combine private-sector resources with public-sector expertise to revitalize downtowns to generate economic activity and create jobs. I am excited about the potential of this project, particularly when we are investing in McCaysville and the surrounding area with more than half a million dollars in state funding for streetscapes and (McCaysville) City Park as well as the ongoing work on widening Highway 5.”

Savannah College of Art and Design, BFA Historic Preservation, 2010 “With the assistance of the Lyndhurst Foundation, our team was able to continue to assist with several projects in the Copper Basin in 2019. The foundation’s support allowed us to continue working with the Fannin County Parks and Recreation Department on improvements at Horseshoe Bend Park. I was drawn to landscape architecture because I love spending time outdoors and creating spaces where people are able to experience nature. This was a meaningful project for me. We worked with Fannin County Parks and Recreation Director Eddie Arnold and the Fannin Chamber of Commerce to design a plan for expanded parking and an eventual pavilion to develop programming at this beloved community park. The final concept we developed makes the park more accessible while preserving the characteristics that make it a special place. Working with a real community made this a very rewarding project.”

LYNDHURST FUNDING AND DESCRIPTION

I

n 2019 Lyndhurst provided $20,000 to support follow-up design and implementation of projects in previously studied communities including Chickamauga and the Copper Basin.

In Chickamauga, Lyndhurst funding allowed for the design and implementation of wayfinding and event signage, promotion, and tourism programming.

Live music and games help make Chickamauga’s First Friday events special and family-friendly.

S

ince the development of the Lyndhurst-supported Chickamauga Downtown Renaissance Strategic Vision and Plan (RSVP) in 2015, the city has made great strides toward realizing residents’ vision of downtown as a vibrant hub of community life. Utilizing recommendations from the RSVP, Chickamauga has helped draw more locals downtown by expanding the city’s profile of downtown events, including seasonal First Friday events. These regular events bring residents together and reinforce that downtown is the physical heart and soul of the community.

Since 2015, Lyndhurst support has fostered a warm and fruitful relationship between city officials, community leaders, and members of the Georgia Downtown Renaissance Partnership. Since 2015, this partnership has resulted in an American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) award-winning plan for Chickamauga’s historic African American District Hill Cemetery, the first leg of the Chickamauga Battlefield Connector Trail with two fully designed and implemented trailheads, wayfinding signage, whimsical arrival signage, and more.

31

project brief

Due to the success of these efforts and a positive record of implementation by the city, in 2019, the city and a planning team from the Institute of Government joined forces again to further develop community-event branding and promotion as well as context-sensitive wayfinding to bring more visitors downtown. With the support of the Lyndhurst Foundation, Institute of Government planners and designers developed unique, site-specific promotional materials and design concepts to support Chickamauga’s variety of events and continue building a community brand. Elements including a graphics toolkit for downtown event promotion and wayfinding signage are designed to help local leaders create a unified brand and promotional messaging, building community pride and inviting visitors to explore all downtown Chickamauga has to offer. Following recommendations from the Chickamauga RSVP plan, city leaders and Institute designers collaborated to create new wayfinding signage to guide visitors downtown.

In 2019, support from the Lyndhurst Foundation enabled the creation of distinctive arrival signage, directional signage, and a custom stencil to promote downtown dining, retail, and tour options.

As part of a tour of Northwest Georgia projects developed in partnership with the Lyndhurst Foundation, UGA Vice President for Public Service and Outreach Dr. Jennifer Frum and Carl Vinson Institute of Government Director Laura Meadows met with community leaders and toured project sites in Chickamauga, Ringgold, and the Copper Basin in June 2019. Pictured are Danny Bivins, Councilmember Evitte Parrish, Betts Berry, City Manager Micheal Haney, and Dr. Laura Meadows at the recently restored Chickamauga Welcome Center.

RESULTS

Below: Institute designers developed specialized, branded signage to promote downtown Chickamauga events to visitors and travelers along US-27. These road signs provide Chickamauga with flexibility, allowing promotion of downtown events wherever the community deems useful.

Above: With support from local leaders and the Lyndhurst Foundation, Institute designers developed a stencil for event promotion. Shown here on a downtown wall in colorful chalk paint, this removable mural now promotes Chickamauga’s regular First Friday events.

F

ollowing discussions with community leaders about the need for flexible signage and event promotion, Institute designers developed a distinctive logo design for the First Friday event. Intended to be temporarily deployed around town, 42 yard signs and a new custom stencil featuring this event logo can now be used to promote First Friday and other events on sidewalks, walls, and many other locations around town. Designed for use with colorful chalk paint, promotional stencils offer Chickamauga leaders flexibility while advertising that First Friday events offer a variety of fun activities downtown.

n 2018, the Lyndhurst Foundation supported a graduate-level landscape architecture studio course led by College of Environment and Design professor Doug Pardue with support from Institute of Government faculty. Over the course of the 2018–2019 academic year, the Lyndhurst Foundation provided $15,000 to support class, instructor, printing, and travel costs.

37

project brief

L

ocated on the state line, the cities of Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, sought to increase connectivity across the community and beyond with expanded trail and mobility systems. In 2017, Lookout Mountain was chosen to participate in the Partnerships Downtown Fellowship. Drawing on this previous relationship, the community became the focus of two semester-long studio courses at the College of Environment and Design (CED). Beginning in the fall of 2018, 12 graduate students under the direction of Doug Pardue began developing unique design concepts for the area. Students worked to develop a variety of specialized “typologies� of policy, program, and physical designs to address connectivity in the community. These typologies include both short- and long-term design strategies at a variety of scales.

Designs from the graduate-level fall studio were carried over into a semester-long undergraduate studio the following spring. Sixteen students worked throughout the semester to further develop trail, sidewalk, and other designs. Over the full academic year, the twenty-eight students in the combined studio courses traveled four times to Lookout Mountain, meeting with local leaders and residents to develop designs tailored to address special challenges in the community. Following the completion of the spring semester, a graduate student project manager worked with in-house graphic designer Alison Cape at the Institute of Government to finalize and print a final report. Featuring a variety of design concepts addressing connectivity within Lookout Mountain and the surrounding region, the student-produced final document CUTS: Lookout Mountain GA+TN (Chattanooga Urban Trail System) was delivered to local leaders on July 22, 2019. Leaders will use the plan to guide future decisions regarding connectivity in the community.
