In 2016, the City of Jonesboro commissioned a study through the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) program to examine downtown Jonesboro and create a plan that would grow the economy, leverage Lee Street Park, encourage appropriate development, make walking and biking easier, and revitalize the Main Street corridor.

The plan, adopted in 2017, identified three priorities: development of a Downtown Core Master Plan, a concept for a proposed multi-use trail that connects the Park and Ride lot on Tara Boulevard to Main Street, and schematic designs for a new Municipal Complex. This year, the City has received more funding through the LCI program to hire consultant TSW to create a Supplemental Study to further these priorities and ultimately fulfill the vision of Blueprint Jonesboro.

UPDATE: The Blueprint Jonesboro Supplemental Study was adopted by Jonesboro City Council on March 11, 2019. Thank you to everyone who participated in this plan’s creation! Click here to view a low-resolution version of the final plan.

UPDATE: The Blueprint Jonesboro LCI Study was amended by the City of Jonesboro in April of 2020. Click here to view a low-resolution version of the amended document.
