The Hackleburg Recovery Committee Workshop gave the citizens of Hackleburg the opportunity to re-vision their business district through a collaborative design charrette process. Farmer-Morgan provided the Town of Hackleburg with a redevelopment design to assist in these efforts. The success of the redevelopment plan relies on the community’s ability to reconnect with the ability. The plan proposes a redevelopment scenario according to which businesses and open space together can be a catalyst for the rebirth of downtown. By limiting new development to occur only in the business district and planning a central public park in its vicinity can help bring people back to their downtown. Green spaces rejuvenates the people - place connection and helps businesses near it thrive, key to a prosperous town.
