Whitfield County Wants Your Input!

"Imagine a day when a family could drive to downtown Dalton and pull inot the county parking deck, stroll amongst shops and restaurants downtown on the way to a trolley stol at Little Five Points, and end up at an arts and cultural district in the Crown Mill area, where they could, for example, listen to musicians at an amphitheater, take a pottery class, relax at a park surrounded by century-old oak trees, or visit the historic Hamilton House and Crown Archives. The first stage toward making that dream a reality will arrive this Saturday when the Dalton-Whitfield Planning Office will host a charrette to get public input on a proposed Arts & Cultural Overlay District that will be unveiled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the newly renovated Freight Depot at the intersection of Cuyler & South Depot Streets Downtown."

Come make your voice heard! Whitfield County wants your input!!
