Margaret Butler of MHM Architects made the presentation and slide show of the vision in the Great Room of the Clinton Community Center.
And that’s what it is — a vision of how South Clinton could be transformed.
Butler said there were a couple of factors that played heavily in the designs presented — right-of-ways belonging the railroad and along U.S. 25W.
Other factors included development of property along the shoreline of the Clinch River and of the Ingle’s shopping center.
And Clinch Avenue — Hwy. 25 W — is also a factor. The storied roadway serves not just as a main line of transportation between Clinton and Knoxville, it is also designated as a federal roadway for use if I-75 becomes blocked for whatever reason.
“This is not a proposal,” Butler said. “It’s what the title says, ‘A vision.’ This is what we have come up with from our previous meetings about the vision of South Clinton,” she said.
