But the potential plans weren’t confined to the recovery zone. Members of the task force, under the guidance of consulting firm BNIM, looked beyond the borders of the storm in crafting a vision that could change the face of the entire city.
“You’re here not just to represent the task force you’re on, but all the citizens of Tuscaloosa,” said Stephen Hardy, director of planning for BNIM.
The task force was divided into smaller groups that focused on the five areas of redevelopment: Infrastructure, Parks and Public Spaces, Housing, Building Design, Landuse.
