Public Meeting, August 17: Urban Planning through GIS Friday, August 14, 2009
CreateHere is pleased to host the first in a series of public meetings entitled “Preserving Chattanooga’s Civil War Battlefields: Urban Planning Through GIS.” The event is next Monday, August 17 from 3-3:45, and again from 6-6:45 that same day.
As Chattanooga continues to grow, incompatible development poses a major threat to significant and irreplaceable Civil War resources throughout the city. The Trust for Public Land received a grant from the American Battlefield Protection Program to place information from six historic battle maps in the Hamilton County Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database so that citizens and interested groups have the opportunity to examine and identify for themselves locations throughout the battlefield area that retain the potential for intact historic resources. The public is invited to a series of meetings throughout Chattanooga to learn about and how to use this new and valuable battlefield preservation tool.
Can’t make it Monday? Participate in a public meeting Tuesday, August 18 from 6-6:45 at the McCallie Chapel; or Thursday, August 20, from 6-6:45 at the Chattanooga Nature Center.
