Longview Farm:
THE VISION FOR A NEW VILLAGE EVOLVES
The design process for New Longview at the historic Longview Farm ran from Wednesday, September 26 to Tuesday, October 2, 2001. A team of local and national designers, engineers, planners and historic preservation specialists came together to work with local citizens and planners in an intensive design workshop - 'charrette' - to create a plan for preservation and re-use of the farm. Citizens and local agencies participated throughout the week long session. All events were open to the public. The design team presented the resulting proposals to the community at the Final Presentation on Tuesday, October 2, 2001.

FROM THE FOUNDERS OF NEW LONGVIEW...

We hope that many of you have been able to see the latest plans in person, and have been able to relate your concerns. For those of you who have not, this site has been updated with all of the images of the proposed plan. SEE THE TEAM'S WORK to view the charrette designs. You can also check this website for updates as the project progresses beyond the charrette. EMAIL THE TEAM LEADERS any questions you may have or ideas you would like to share. CLICK HERE FOR THE MID-AMERICA REGIONAL COUNCIL if you would like to register your support for the design of the more safe, civilized boulevard-type street through the New Longview site, as proposed in the plan (rather than a typical highway-type design) - or just to stay tuned for more information on their Transportation planning efforts. - Thank you!


THE DESIGN CHARRETTE WAS HELD SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 2, 2001
Thanks to all who helped us build a vision for a New Longview.
