The City of Birmingham is matching a federal Building Communities grant for the development of the second to last Community Framework plan. The 2013 City of Birmingham Comprehensive Plan recommended that the City of Birmingham support the creation of community plans. In order to accomplish this, the City’s Planning, Engineering, and Permits Department commissioned the development of 9 framework plans that serve as a set of area plans assembled from individual community plans. The City of Birmingham has requested assistance from the Regional Planning Commission to develop the City Center Framework Plan. The City Center Framework plan consists of 2 communities (Northside and Southside) and 8 neighborhoods. The Northside community is Central City, Evergreen, Druid Hills, Fountain Heights, and Norwood. The Southside Community is Five Points South, Glen Iris, and Southside. For more information, and to see the completed Framework Plans, please visit:
