On the current and local events front: “Midtown” Unveiled; project aims to spur transformation of Upper King Street.
The Midtown project will be presented to the Charleston Board of Architectural Review in a special meeting at 4:30 p.m. March 3 in the fourth-floor meeting room at 75 Calhoun St. I know it’s Spring Break, but maybe I’ll see some of you there. (For more information, you can see a city planning document with some great graphics at http://www.charleston.net/midtown/.)
For my urban planning students - does anything about this project make you think of Jane Jacobs? Robert Moses? Cataclysmic money even?

This will probably be the last PLE specific post for a couple weeks. I’ve just finished posting all of the following on WebCT:
- The readings for Monday (the studies), Wednesday (easements), and the week after spring break (charity). The last is a link to a large PDF file - let me know if there’s any confusion.
- A link to an optional reading under FYI with more details about the legal responsibilities of nonprofit organizations. I thought this might be helpful for those of you thinking about writing on NPOs.
- Another pro forma PDF - this one with the example we’re walking through in class. I don’t send the excel file because it has all the equations pre-coded. If there’s interest in walking through how to use Excel to do that, let me know. It’d only take a couple minutes to explain.
- Last but not least, an assignment where you can turn in your preliminary work for your rehab projects that’s due next Wednesday. Given that there are 7 undergrads and 11 grads, at least one group will be mixed, so get to know your neighbor on Monday if you don’t have a partner yet.
There won’t be a PowerPoint Monday, but there will on Wednesday.
See you next week!
