In 2021, the City of Fort Oglethorpe in partnership with the Carl Vinson Institute of Government and the Lyndhurst Foundation created the Renaissance Strategic Vision and Plan (RSVP). While addressing the top issues raised by community members in step one of the RSVP, the downtown master plan was produced to help guide local leaders and inform future design concepts prepared for the community.
