body
SUMMARY:
The development of the Hollice T. Williams Urban Greenway is identified as a key redevelopment project within the Eastside Neighborhood Plan Element of the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area Plan, as amended. In November 2009, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) contracted with Looney, Ricks, Kiss Architects, Inc. and EDSA to develop the Hollice T. Williams Urban Linear Greenway Framework Plan. The Framework Plan was finalized in 2010.
To further implement the framework plan and address stormwater, the project was submitted to Escambia County for RESTORE Direct Component funding in 2016, and selected to receive $1.5 million towards design, and permitting.
Since project selection, Escambia County has worked closely with the City, and CRA to initiate a solicitation for design proposals. An update will be provided regarding the status of the project.
