Description

Join us on Friday, July 8th, from 3:00pm to 7:00 p.m. at Decatur City Hall for 652 to YOU, our Decatur community engagement event. 652 to YOU will allow friends in Decatur or surrounding areas to share feedback and ideas through various interactive activities on the Tennessee RiverLine project. We invite all residents as your feedback is crucial, and it will guide the next steps of development for communities and the Tennessee RiverLine team. If you are unable to attend in person, please share your experiences and ideas on our interactive survey River Gauge at tnriverline.org/rivergauge. Decatur was selected as one of ten Tennessee RiverLine 2021-2023 Community Planning Initiative communities. The Community Planning Initiative (CPI) will bring capacity, expertise and resources to the serviced rural communities, positioning them to engage one of their most valuable natural and cultural resources-the Tennessee River-and realize its unmet potentials for economic development, public health, equitable access and environmental stewardship. It will accomplish this by accelerating rural placemaking investments within the framework of the Tennessee RiverLine. The Tennessee RiverLine is a project for a 652-mile hiking, biking and paddling trail along the Tennessee River, stretching from Knoxville, Tennessee to Paducah, Kentucky. The Tennessee RiverLine will serve as a catalyst for economic, social and environmental growth across four states while connecting communities and celebrating the history, beauty and diversity of the Tennessee River Valley. The project began as a vision in the UT School of Landscape Architecture, and since has transformed into a project including 25+ partners, such as the National Park Service, Tennessee State Parks and Tennessee Valley Authority and many more.
