On the Road with TIA: Columbus-Muscogee County's Buena Vista Road Projects
Economic corridor revitalization starts with infrastructure
When Columbus-Muscogee County leaders were selecting transportation projects to be funded through TIA, they focused a lot of attention on Buena Vista Road, an older thoroughfare that has seen a lot of changes through the city's history. TIA is funding three projects on Buena Vista Road, two for the River Valley region's TIA 1 cycle and one for its TIA 2 cycle.
As Columbus-Muscogee County plans how to grow in size and influence, it has a two-pronged economic development strategy: 1) expand with new opportunities and 2) transform the older areas to broaden their appeal and capabilities. The three Buena Vista Road projects are a strong part of that second strategy.
In the latest short video in our On the Road with TIA series, local planners and leaders discuss the importance of Buena Vista Road, the changes being made through TIA and the goals behind the projects.
