Introduction
On May 20-21, 2013, approximately forty-two citizens, business leaders, and town officials gathered to participate in a Community Design workshop
held at the Municipal Services Building in Yanceyville, NC. The workshop was facilitated by the Center for Creative Economy (CCE) and its affiliate
Design Link; a coalition of NC based architects, planners and economic developers. The event was sponsored by Piedmont Together, a 12-county
sustainability and smart growth planning initiative headed by Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART) and the Piedmont Triad Regional
Council (PTRC).
Organizing Themes for Workshop
The primary focus for the sessions was to identify economic and design opportunities for the future growth of Yanceyville. The design team’s task was
to provide a stimulus for the citizens to share their desires for the future and to portray those dreams in a visual format that is based in market reality.
The citizens were divided into small groups and asked to provide input in the areas of:
• Growing and revitalizing the town economy from the courthouse square
•Connecting people and places
•Making the places better
02
Development options discussed were based on the principles of Smart Growth and Sustainable Design. The economic influences were prepared in
advance, outlined and presented in a study, Key Findings: A Yanceyville Marketplace Analysis. This information generated economic development
opportunities and constraints to be considered during the workshop. The team engaged the participants in discussions that envisioned a new future for
Yanceyville. This Blue sky approach created a dynamic flow of ideas from the community

Objectives of Workshop:
• Focus on the historic court square district and potential uses for the abandoned buildings and those in need of improvement,
as well as vacant sites.
• Focus on possible usages to make the historic district more vibrant, sustainable, and attractive to visitors and pedestrians.
• Identify economic, planning and design opportunities for the development and improvement of Yanceyville.
• Help community understand the value of planning, strategies for small town growth, and sustainable design. Acknowledge zoning and
ordinance changes maybe needed to allow for development.
• Gather input from a broad cross section of community stakeholders. Engage, listen and record response.
• Produce a collection of creative urban design solutions, concept plans and development ideas. Solicit feedback and discuss next steps on these
initial design concepts.
Background
PART/Piedmont Together selected the Town of Yanceyville, NC as the fifth Triad recipient of a Community Design Workshop. The Center for Creative
Economy and its affiliate Design Link (DL) was engaged to facilitate the project. Funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) through its Sustainable Communities program.

Schedule
March 7: The first meeting was held in Yanceyville with Town Manager Haynes Brigman. Attending were Bill Moser and Margaret Collins from
CCE/Design Link, and Kyle Laird from Piedmont Together. Participants established goals, defined the core committee, confirmed dates for the
workshop and drafted a tentative schedule. Mr. Brigman showed the rooms where the workshop would take place and took the group on a brief tour
of Yanceyville.
April 18: A conference call was held with the local core committee leaders and members of the Design Link and Piedmont Together team.
Participants reviewed the objectives, and approved the schedule and themes for the workshop. Present on the call were Haynes Brigman, Town
Manager, Kevin Howard, Caswell County Manager; Sharon Sexton, Chamber of Commerce; Rhonda Griffin, Librarian; Bill Moser and Margaret Collins,
CCE/Design Link, and Kyle Laird, Piedmont Together.
April 22: A survey was conducted for the Town of Yanceyville to seek input from citizens in advance of the workshop. Questions were asked to
determine what types of commercial retail, business and recreational services were needed. Also the public was asked to provide insight into
challenges and opportunities that will affect efforts to revitalize the town. Only 15 responses were received so the sample did not provide a
comprehensive profile from the community. A copy of survey and the results can be found in the Appendix.
April 30: A site visit was held in Yanceyville. All members of the design team were present. Bill Moser presented maps to orient the group and the
team discussed the approach and themes for the workshop. Haynes Brigman led the team on a tour throughout Yanceyville, and Kevin Howard,
Caswell County Manager, provided transportation in a county vehicle.
Design Link captured photos during their Site visit to document the current conditions in Yanceyville while planning their strategy for the workshop
05
May 2: A press release was distributed to local media outlets, and flyers were distributed throughout the town to encourage participation.
May 16: Design Link team held a conference call to make final plans.
May 20-21: Workshops were held at the Yanceyville Municipal Services Building. Forty-two people attended over two days, with many attending
multiple times. The first day was organized with general public sessions in the afternoon and evening. The design team mounted a visual precedent
board and citizens were asked to vote on their favorite visuals related to downtown such as sidewalks, parking, signage, and other related topics.
They also chose their favorite places in Yanceyville and Caswell County, and indicated where they lived and worked on a map. On the second day, the
Design Link team presented a summary of the ideas that emerged from the public sessions on day one. Next the team presented sketches, and
drawings, which visually depicted the input from the public and brought their ideas to life in visual form. They facilitated a conversation about
priorities and next steps.
July 9: Team member, Bill Moser, presented the workshop results to the town council and interested citizens. He summarized the key findings,
presented the visual images created by the Design Link team, and presented Next Steps that can be started immediately.
September 3: Bill Moser returned to present the workshop findings to the County Commissioners at the invitation of Kevin Howard, County Manager.

May 20, 2013 Presentation
Smart Growth: Guidelines for Sustainable Design and
Development in Yanceyville
The workshop continued with presentations on Smart Growth
and Sustainable Design, and Key Findings for the Yanceyville
marketplace. Informing stakeholders of good design principles
and potential for economic growth provided the context and
starting point for these sessions. After the presentations, the
Design Link team and workshop participants discussed how best
to revitalize Yanceyville using the core principles of sustainability
coupled with an awareness of economic development
opportunities. The group was shown examples of sustainable
growth at the regional, neighborhood, and local levels,
recognizing that Yanceyville has an excellent example in its
historic court square.
Smart Growth is Concerned With:
Region:
Caswell County
Neighborhood
Town of Yanceyville
Site:
Courthouse Square

Neighborhood- 15 Minute Walkable Radius
5 minutes
10 minutes
15 minutes
It is more efficient to locate new growth where services, infrastructure and amenities already exist. This promotes walkability and organic growth.
¼ mile equals 5 minute walk, ½ mile equals 10 minute walk, and ¾ mile equals 15 minute walk.

Summary of Community Input- May 20, 2013
Following the presentations on Smart Growth and Yanceyville Market Analysis, participants divided into two groups that focused on the organizing
themes of the workshop.
Growing and revitalizing the town economy from the courthouse square by
• Connecting people and places
• Making the places better
Theme 1 - Connecting People and Places
• Fill empty lots on court square and in the downtown area
• Higher wage professional level jobs are needed in Yanceyville for the local citizens
• More after school sports options needed
• More collaboration and communication needed
• Between Town of Yanceyville, Caswell County, and local non-profits
• Determine better ways to use and share assets
Citizens discuss Connectivity in Yanceyville
Create walkable neighborhoods
16
Theme 1 - Connecting People and Places (continued)
•Open NC Game Lands to non-hunters
• Better connections needed for biking and walking; trails should be developed over the sewer lines
• Two Main Streets in town- rename one of them so less confusing for visitors
• Beautification needed- Clean up and improve landscape throughout Yanceyville
• People shop mostly where they work outside of Yanceyville; bringing more retail to town will draw dollars to Yanceyville.
• Promote programs for youth after school in the downtown core
• Create opportunities downtown to attract Piedmont Community College students.

Theme 2 - Making the Places Better
Suggestions for ways to improve the “places” in Yanceyville covered a wide range of subjects and have been grouped into focus areas.
Court Square
• Improve visual appearance of storefronts, maintain historic character, and connect the buildings through improved facades and historic design
• Ford Building-reclaim and salvage
• Bank building return to original architecture- re-introduce columns in front of bank
• Streetscape- lights, trees, seating, attractive landscaping, gazebo
• Adaptive reuse of vacant buildings- retail/housing
• Gazebo on south side of Town Square adjacent to courthouse is good idea
Center of Square
• Replace steps and sidewalks and landscaping in center of square; add seating/brick pavers

May 21: Design Team Response
Goals emerging from the workshop:
1) Develop a master plan for connecting Yanceyville
2) Establish a gateway into Yanceyville at highway 158/86 and develop North Avenue
3) Restore and develop the downtown historic Court House Square
Goal One - Develop a Master plan for Connecting Yanceyville
The Connect Yanceyville Plan documents the highest priority concepts that work to achieve the agreed upon community goal. It provides better
access and connectivity within Yanceyville to important destinations and allows for pedestrian and bike friendly local neighborhood streets to be
more receptive to multi-modal use and better candidates for traffic calming. It also identifies the locations for new gateways, bike routes and critical
intersections that serve as barriers to pedestrian and bike friendly connectivity.
Four key area destinations within Yanceyville:
• Downtown: Caswell Co. Recreation Park, government buildings, shops and restaurants, the Arboretum, Richmond-Miles History Museum, Bartlett
Yancey H.S, Piedmont Community College and the historic sites surrounding the jewel of Yanceyville, the Caswell County Courthouse.
• Fire Tower Road: Local nature trails, Caswell Senior Center, Maud Gatewood Park and Oakwood Elementary
• Western Gateway: Rural 19th century architecture, bike routes, Bartlett Yancey House and Dillard Middle School
• Farmer’s Lake: fishing, canoe and kayaking, popular bike routes
Focus: Link these key areas so residents and visitors of all ages can enjoy safe and enjoyable passage while experiencing the pleasures of living,
working and visiting Yanceyville. Like a front door at home, a gateway is a friendly welcome to your community. Enhance gateway areas at the far
corners of Yanceyville to mark the transition from rural landscape to a proud and revitalizing community. Place a new gateway at 158/86 and North
Avenue to welcome visitors and residents to the courthouse square historic district and the County and Town facilities. Consider changing the name
of West Main to avoid confusion with Main Street.
25
Connect Yanceyville
Connect Yanceyville is a map that documents the highest
priorities for better access and connectivity within
Yanceyville. It allows for pedestrian and bike friendly local
neighborhood streets, and identifies the locations for new
gateways, bike routes and critical intersections to overcome
barriers to pedestrian and bike friendly connectivity.
26
Goal 2 - Establish a Gateway into Yanceyville at Highway158/86 and develop North Avenue
It is inevitable that name brand retail development will continue along the 158/86 corridor, increasing traffic flow across North Ave. One idea to
increase awareness of the Historic Downtown Square's existence is to introduce a monument marker at the intersection of North Ave. and highway
158/86. The marker could indicate many things from agency & business names to images of the square or motifs that indicate specific features of
Yanceyville's history and character.
Toward the town square the idea would be to increase smaller scale boutique retail and business that would not directly compete with the 158/86
businesses. As one turns onto North Ave. such development between Church Street and Main Street would be immediately visible. Buildings designed
in an aesthetic at least suggestive of the historical character of the area would be an enticing extension of the square itself, drawing visitors to the
heart of the town.
Developing this block would likely take a cooperative effort between the Town and the County, if not an actual land trade. A trade might involve the
County giving this block to the Town in exchange for the Yanceyville Pavilion site. While the town might be better suited to work with retail and
business development, the County would likely be more adept in managing recreation activities associated with the Pavilion. The County might also
partner with the the Caswell County Historical Association and use the new "Village Green" for re-enactments and other festival activities. A new
Visitor's Center is shown nestled between a new playground and the existing museum, introducing more destination activity for the Town. Another
component in close proximity is a newly paved area dedicated to farmer's market type events. The addition of a public restroom facility is shown on
the southeastern corner of the pavilion site, an essential addition for a growing town center. Such a development concept, which would involve both
governmental agencies, might go a long way in creating a positive and productive relationship, which would in turn greatly benefit both the Town of
Yanceyville and Caswell County for years to come.
27
Final Site Plan North: Detail showing various improvement concepts at the intersection of North Avenue and Highway 158/86. This plan emphasizes
development between the two nodes to establish a visual connection and draw traffic from 158/86 into the historic center.
28
Final Site Plan South: Detail showing various improvement concepts at the North Avenue corridor from Church Street to Main Street
including improvements to the Yanceyville Pavilion and new retail development along the east side of North Avenue.
29
Gateway Opportunity
In combination with efforts to improve the appearance of North Avenue and the development of the county criminal justice center, a new gateway opportunity
emerged at the intersection of North Avenue and 86/158. As part of the Connect Yanceyville Plan and the site plan shown on p.___ a new gateway will attract
visitors who will only have two short blocks to reach the historic courthouse square.
Utilizing the current monument style gateway, visitors will easily recognize the attractive sign welcoming them to the historic district. This entrance to downtown
is favored over the current western gateway route to downtown at 158 and Old 86/Main Street near the Yancey House. The current route down Old 86 suffers
from an abundance of un-attractive strip commercial buildings and dilapidated parking lots. The proposed gateway also picks up eastbound highway 86 motorists.
30
North Avenue Draft Concept Plan
On the second day of the workshop, a concept site plan to improve the North Ave. corridor recognized aesthetic and economic development
opportunities. With the addition of the new county detention facility, the town and county officials have a unique opportunity to improve the overall
streetscape appearance. New sidewalks connecting to Caswell Co. Recreation Park and North Ave. extending across 158/86 to Fire Tower Road
destinations will greatly enhance the walkability in Yanceyville. Street trees along North Ave., Church St., County Park Dr. and 158/86 will make the
walk more enjoyable, and screen large parking and outdoor storage areas. Further, the trees serve to slow traffic down, allowing motorists to operate
at a safer speed to be better prepared for pedestrians and bicyclists. These concepts are incorporated in the overall downtown plan.
31
New Gateway
Sign
Currently, North Avenue lacks sidewalks north of Church St. In order to create a pedestrian connection to the Fire Tower Road destinations and improve the overall
access to downtown, a sidewalk on the east side of North Ave is needed. Also on the east side, install curb and gutter and storm water infrastructure along with a
planting strip. Street trees added on both sides will complete the transformation from an ordinary town street serving only autos to a gateway street linking some of
Yanceyville’s most important destinations.
32
Goal Three - Restore and Develop the downtown historic Court House Square
The existing downtown court square has great historical significance and is the key to revitalizing the Town of Yanceyville. The Design Link team
incorporated their knowledge of successful downtowns with the desires of the workshop participants to make the following recommendations.
“If you can’t preserve your past, you can’t embrace your future” - Workshop Participant
East West Section
Existing: The historic courthouse square symbolizes the proud past of Yanceyville and Caswell County. It also is the catalyst to its revitalization. The architecture
reflects the stately grandeur of days gone by but the streetscape does little to enhance the setting. Recent years of economic struggles and domination by the
automobile have created a Spartan setting where concrete and asphalt predominate. It will be Important to work with the power company to relocate the power
lines away from the square or bury them beneath the road.
33
North South Section
Proposed: A key to revitalizing the entire town, investing in the landscaping and street lighting of the square will make the area more attractive to residents and
visitors who come every day or once in a lifetime. Investing in landscaping the grounds of the central square along with adding a perimeter sidewalk to its edge will
greatly enhance access and enjoyment. Ornamental shade trees and attractive historic looking streetlights can transform a quiet downtown at night to a safe and
lively center for outdoor fun and restaurants. Improvements to the square include adding electrical services for festivals, a water fountain, bike racks, benches and
crosswalks to the central square.
34
Improvements to Courthouse Square
Improved Courthouse Square
A number of suggested modifications of the existing square are illustrated with this plan. A ramped accessible route leading from the historic courthouse to the
square is recommended. A new electrical service and irrigation box might also be provided. The concrete walks at the base of the monument require repair.
35
Improved Circulation Around Historic Courthouse
Both pedestrian and vehicular access can be improved around the historic courthouse. By providing a one-way drive and sidewalk within the public Right Of Way
(alley on the west side of the courthouse) and by narrowing the Right Of Way (North Avenue extension) on the east side of the courthouse, circulation and access to
public amenities including the Heritage Park and Arboretum can be improved.
36
Façade Improvements
Existing Conditions - The Drug Store Building: One of the key ideas from the workshop was to revitalize downtown Yanceyville through renovation of existing
buildings where feasible. The rendering below demonstrates how building facade improvements can be made to existing buildings to emphasize the historic
courthouse square. Because the building is not historic, the absence of traditional architectural features detracts from overall historic setting. It also allows the
owner to freely renovate to simulate an older style.
Proposed facade improvements - The Drug Store Building: Addition of new storefronts, awnings, windows and an historically appropriate exterior color palette
can greatly enhance the appearance of modest commercial buildings. Attractive signage can also play a role in giving the building a fresh look. Opportunities should
be created for facade grants, and other similar incentives to renovate these non-conforming structures.
37
Courthouse Square Gazebo
Courthouse Square Gazebo: The area in front of the County Administration/Agricultural Extension Office is approximately 30 feet by 50 feet (1500 square feet).
This area could be developed into a “mini-park” featuring a trellised gazebo structure. The gazebo could serve as a gateway for a pedestrian pathway to the south
side of the courthouse.A weatherproof exhibit board could introduce visitors to the Heritage Park, Arboretum, and historic courthouse. By improving the vehicular
and pedestrian route around the courthouse, the gazebo could become an important enhancement for visitors and residents of Yanceyville. (Also note improved
circulation around historic courthouse).
38
Caswell Cinema Renovation
Caswell Cinema Renovation: Revitalization of the downtown theatre will create a “destination” in Yanceyville. Local residents could enjoy movie features and the
theatre could also contribute to greater tourism opportunities and a better appreciation of the rich history of Yanceyville and Caswell County. Family “movie nights”
would again be available to local residents. A documentary film shown in the theatre could enhance the experience of participants of bus tours visiting Caswell
County. The film could introduce visitors to the history and attributes of the town and county. The restoration of the Caswell Cinema represents a true “renewal of a
destination”. Opportunities to partner with the Community College Film Production Program also exist.
39
Watlington’s Building Storefront
Watlington’s Building Storefront: Removal of the “1950’s(+-)” metal siding and Glasweld panels on the Watlington’s Building would renew the sense of place and
be more architecturally authentic. The introduction of state of the art canvas awnings on lightweight aluminum frames would provide an enhanced pedestrian
experience and provide a more contemporary style to the structure.
40
Fidelity Bank Facade
Fidelity Bank Façade: Subject to the required interest of Fidelity Bank, the existing exterior of the building might be modified to provide a more distinctive
appearance. Removal of the existing vinyl siding and the substitution of additional glazing would be an architectural enhancement. The placement of pilasters or
columns in front of the building would be reminiscent of the colonnade of an historic building that was demolished and removed from this site.
41
Fire Station Adaptive Reuse
Fire Station Adaptive Reuse
If the Town of Yanceyville were to relocate their fire department to an alternative location, the existing fire station building would make an excellent “shell”
structure, which could be adapted to accommodate any number of uses including, but not limited to the following:
• Municipal Market to accommodate local artisans and gallery, antique market, farmers market, co-op grocery, etc. providing “stalls” for lease
• Destination food service venue to accommodate an internet coffee shop, ice cream parlor, sandwich shop, boutique bar and grille, etc.
• A more “up-scale” destination restaurant
The introduction of an “agricultural style” colonnade and covered patio and the use of glass panel doors would allow the building to expand operations with
an “open air” environment when the weather allowed for such occupancy.
42
Mixed Use Development
Mixed Use Development East of Courthouse: The town of Yanceyville owns a significant tract of land to the east of the historic courthouse. This property
could accommodate several mixed use (retail and residential) buildings and associated off street parking. The town might consider preparing and issuing an
RFP (Request for Proposal) for private sector developers to create and enter into a public/private partnership for use of this property. The adaptive reuse of
the existing fire station could be part of this RFP or it could be developed as a separate project. Regardless, the relocation of the fire department and
development of a more destination-oriented use of the existing fire station building will enhance the development of the adjacent site.
43
Streetscape View
Streetscape View of Mixed Use Development East of Courthouse The three story “tower” structure would provide a dramatic view to the front of the historic
courthouse and square. The other proposed infill structure would allow further commercial use at the street level and potential residential occupancy above. This
streetscape sketch indicates how angled parking could be placed along North Avenue extension and in front of the west facades. Drives would allow vehicular access
to a parking lot on the east side of the building.
44
Priorities discussed at workshop
Following the Design Link presentation, the participants engaged in a very lively debate. Discussion centered on long and short term priorities, and
who needs to get involved. Robin Spinks, Economic Developer representing Design Link pointed out to the community that Yanceyville has had many
plans developed for them. So why hasn’t anything happened? There are very few rules to block development. Currently, no licenses or fees are
required to start a business. The town has fabulous “bones”, and great architecture. The problem is that private citizens need to recognize this fact
and take action. As demonstrated in the Key Findings, there is a tremendous amount of retail leakage flowing out of town. Considerable sums of
money are leaving the community and benefitting other places. See Appendix for complete Retail Leakage Study. Currently, government controls the
majority of jobs and much of the property in Yanceyville between the Town of Yanceyville and Caswell County. What is needed is private investment.
Government can assist with the planning process. However, private business needs to step up and execute on those plans. Teamwork is required to
make progress. Yanceyville needs leadership from the private sector, to figure out how to make the connections and develop the businesses. Public
funding can provide the infrastructure, but private industry must develop the business. The attitude must be “we can do it!”
Short Term- Next Six Months
• Business facilitation- Establish leadership and goals; Proactively recruit businesses to Yanceyville; Develop closer working relationship between
public and private sectors
• Master plan- Start the process of developing a vision and master plan for the town. Meet regularly and establish ordinances that implement the
vision.
• Coordinate Town and County duties more efficiently and cooperatively
Long Term
Ordinances- allow for mixed use
Establish Design guidelines
Citizens returned for Day 2 and listen to Design Link presentations
Design Link team facilitates the discussion about priorities following
the presentations.
45
Next Steps for Yanceyville
Design & Planning Issues:
• Amend zoning regulations to allow mixed use occupancy.
• Create code enforcement procedures for non-residential buildings.
• Consider alternative site for new fire department to allow future adaptive reuse of the existing building.
• Prepare site development guidelines to develop site owned by town on east side of courthouse - consider RFP for public/private partnership with private
developers. Emphasis of RFP should address mixed use of site to include potential occupancies discussed at workshop.
• Consider a land swap between county and town with the pavilion property and the property at the corner of North Avenue and East Church. Historical
Society and County may benefit more from the pavilion site, while Town may have better opportunities in extending Town Square scale storefront retail space
along North.
• Discuss benefits with County to participate in development of a feature along North Street towards the Bypass Highway.
• Prepare a plan for refurbishment of the County-owned Square.
• Consider other additions to the “architectural heritage exhibit” behind the courthouse.
• Consider development of a courthouse loop, as proposed at the workshop.
Appearance Issues
• Encourage Preservation NC to repossess the former Ford dealership. Rear of building has collapsed and should be condemned. Front of building requires
immediate stabilization.
• Get a demolition estimate and consider placing a lien on the former Ford property to complete work, regardless of ownership.
• Follow-up with way-finding signage program grant opportunity.
• Develop way-finding system, focusing on a joint county/town design concept.
• Request NCDOT replace faded Scenic Byway signs.
• Consider upgrading aesthetics and functionality of the Yanceyville Pavilion. Remove existing building slab and replace with designed hardscape. Provide
enhanced landscaping around perimeter, and add permanent public restroom facilities that could be used during public events in the square. Establish a clear
visual connection between Town Hall, the Courthouse Square, and the Historic Courthouse.
• Encourage existing storefront improvements to stabilize appearances around the Courthouse Square.
• Encourage the revitalization of the Bartlett Yancey property as a historical monument and a destination place.
Organization Issues
• Establish better communication/cooperation between town and county governing boards.
• Engage the private sector to help with specific projects - foster a better sense of community.
• Develop better coordination with existing local non-profit organizations.
• Organize the newly formed economic development commission. Populate the board and determine how to move forward proactively.
• Coordinate with the Regency Training Institute. What support do they need to help their project move forward? What types of support services will they need
that might be located on the Square?
• Create a list of owners of buildings on the Square and other important commercial buildings downtown. Send them an email or letter explaining the workshop
outcomes to encourage them to get involved in the process. Invite them to the final report presentation.
• Join the North Carolina Main Street program to build upon concepts discussed at the workshop. Attend pre-application workshops to be held as follows: June
26 (Morganton) and June 27 (Clayton)

Design and Development Workshop coming to Yanceyville
The Town of Yanceyville will host a two-day community design workshop focused on obtaining public feedback around three
themes within our community. The three areas of focus will be the historic downtown Courthouse Square in Yanceyville, the town
of Yanceyville as a whole, and the regional aspects of Caswell County and how Yanceyville is the central core of the County. This
project was selected by Piedmont Together (a joint effort of the Piedmont Triad Regional Council, the Piedmont Authority for
Regional Transportation, and their partners) to receive this focused design session.
The event will be facilitated by the Center for Creative Economy (CCE), based in Winston-Salem, NC, through its affiliate, Design
Link. The CCE and Design Link will bring their North Carolina based team of designers, architects, urban planners, and economic
development professionals to Yanceyville on May 20th and 21st. By using design elements and input from local citizens and
community stakeholders, Design Link will help create a visual plan of possible uses and future development for each of the three
levels of focus.
The workshop will take place at the Yanceyville Municipal Services Building located at 158 East Church Street in Yanceyville. The
first workshop on Monday, May 20th will begin at 2:30pm with an afternoon workshop to begin generating ideas and gathering
information from participants. An evening session will begin at 5:30pm, with dinner provided to participants. During these two
sessions participants can choose to offer their suggestions for any or all of the three levels of design they wish; offering their input
on best plans for design, growth, and potential use of the area. The results from public input and the design team will be revealed
the next day, May 21st, at an evening Workshop beginning at 5:30pm (dinner will also be provided to participants). During this
Workshop Design Link will present a summary and visual sketches of the information gathered. A formal report which will be
presented to community leaders following the workshop.
The Town of Yanceyville hopes that this project will lead to a new found dedication to revitalizing the downtown historic
Courthouse Square, and its identity as the centerpiece of Caswell County. We also hope that this project will be a catalyst for
local community leaders and business owners to invest into strengthening what is a tremendous resource for our community.
Each of the Workshops are open to the public, and we encourage anyone to participate. To find out more or to RSVP, contact
Haynes Brigman, Town Manager, by phone at 336-694-5431, or by email at [email protected].
