Charter Award from Congress of New Urbanism

Thought I'd start a new topic on this. I don't think this got a lot of notice on the Fayetteville topic. I also found out Rogers was mentioned as well. This might be more of a metro award. Sounds like the Washington DC metro and San Francisco metro areas also received awards. Rogers was mentioned for it's Habit Trails Plan, building Habitat homes at $55 per square foot. Fayetteville was recognized for it's City Plan 2025. Incorporating New Urbanism designs like walkable urban neighborhoods into future city planning. Anyway great news for the metro. Something else to help put us 'on the map'.

Here is a little more detailed info from the local newspapers on this topic.

From the Morning News: Fayetteville Wins

From the Times: Fayetteville Wins Again

This seems like a pretty good award. The articles seemed to mention that developers from around the nation will want to invest in our area.
