Happy 2020, Friends of SDCA!
Our 2020 project has officially kicked-off! This past Saturday, the SDCA board met with members of the Barrow Community Foundation, Barrow County School System, and ArtsNow to discuss re-imagining the Center for Innovative Teaching and the surrounding field as a community hub and family-friendly flexible green space for Barrow County.
Community members emphasized the goal of creating a community center that will spur economic development for Barrow County. The vision is to re-mold the CFIT building to allow programming needs of the community, Barrow County schools, and ArtsNow. There is also a strong push to redesign the existing green space into a family-friendly destination park (with an accessible playground) that will connect with Downtown Winder, celebrate its history, and express the innovation occurring within the building.
This is a great project with many opportunities for our volunteers to help design a community-oriented master plan for the residents of Barrow County. We have amazing momentum and local support!
We'd love for you to join us as we work on the master plan with members of the community.
Meetings will take place at the Center for Innovative Teaching (84 W. Midland Ave., Winder, GA 30680).
