"WE ARE SITUATED TO SUCCEED"
Winston Churchill said, "First we shape the cities, then, they shape us." This means that the development of a city is not just about infrastructure, but about creating an environment that influences the lives, behaviors, and culture of its citizens.
My vision for the future of Fairburn is to transform Fairburn into a "sleep, work, and play" community with several key initiatives.
Downtown Development
The vision for downtown is to create a vibrant, family-friendly, yet quiet atmosphere. This includes:
-
White-tablecloth restaurant
-
Vibrant, family-friendly spaces
Parks and Recreation
The plan emphasizes expanding and improving recreational opportunities for all citizens, especially youth. The key elements are:
-
Parks Master Plan: This will guide the creation of new pocket parks throughout the city, making green spaces more accessible to everyone.
-
Fairburn Community Center
-
Natatorium (a swimming facility)
-
Walking and bike trails
This facility will ensure the City of Fairburn is poised to meet and exceed the needs of our community for years to come.
James Whitmore's overall commitment is to invest in Fairburn's infrastructure and amenities to create a quiet, more livable, and engaging community for its residents.
