Show Your Southside Pride
Southside Residents Engage to Help Shape the Area’s Future
April 29, 2021
On Saturday, May 1, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., the City of Tallahassee will host a community event at Nims Middle School (723 W. Orange Avenue). This unique drive-thru gathering is part of a new initiative that highlights Southside residents’ community pride and encourages participation in engagement efforts that will help shape the future of the area through the Southside Action Plan.
To ensure Tallahassee’s Southside offers the amenities, services and quality of life that the community envisions for the area, the City is engaging in a series of events and activities to hear from the residents, business owners and other stakeholders who live, work, learn and worship on the Southside. Using the feedback and ideas received during this outreach, updates will be made to the existing planning policy that governs the area, a document called the Southside Action Plan, which is part of the overall Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan. These updates will help align and strengthen the priorities outlined in the plan to encourage quality land development, support population growth, increase employment opportunities and attain a balanced mix of incomes in the southern part of the Tallahassee urban area.
During Saturday’s event, attendees can learn more about the initiative and provide their feedback from the comfort of their vehicles. Attendees completing a survey will be showing their Southside pride and receive some free swag (while supplies last).
