Citizen leaders of the town of Towson have given birth to a new nonprofit organization ? Tomorrow?s Towson, Inc.? dedicated to creating a new vision for the County seat. The group?s mission statement reads: ?Working together to create and implement a vision for Tomorrow?s Towson.?
The organization will host an Urban Design Assistance Team (UDAT) from June 7 to June 13, 2006. The UDAT visit is the centerpiece of a community-driven planning process that involves a great deal of outreach to area residents and key stakeholders, including businesses and institutions. UDATs work directly with residents to learn about a community’s challenges and then devise a plan for land use solutions.
