The Powder Springs Downtown Master Plan set a bold vision for revitalizing the city’s core, blending its historic charm with opportunities for economic
growth and community connection. Downtown Powder Springs serves as both a cultural anchor and a hub for local businesses, with its inviting streets,
civic spaces, and potential for vibrant commercial activity.

TSW collaborated with the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), city officials, and community stakeholders to craft a plan that balances preservation of the city’s unique character with strategic growth initiatives. This process included developing an Existing Conditions Base Map to understand key developments—such as under-construction apartments, townhouses, City Hall, and a new parking structure—and creating a Case Study of Comparable Business Mixes to identify retail and commercial strategies tailored to Powder Springs’ distinct identity.
