As part of the 2023 SPLOST, the Town has taken action on citizen’s desire to revitalize the downtown area starting with Shamrock Park!

Envision Tyrone, Town Center Plan - A Livable Centers Initiative (LCI)

The Town of Tyrone received a $200,000 grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission to perform an LCI (Livable Centers Initiative) study for the Town Center (Downtown) district of Tyrone. A much loved and central district of the Town, downtown Tyrone houses all government services such as police, administration, library, recreation, and the post office; it also includes four parks and dozens of small businesses including some of the most popular restaurants in town. As such, the LCI focuses on leveraging these incredible assets in order to design a more walkable, livable, and amenity-rich center for the heart of Tyrone!

Special Studies, Partnerships, and Assessments 

 2018 Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) Zoning Audit

The Town of Tyrone was awarded the Atlanta Regional Commission's (ARC) Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) in 2018 with the goal of assessing the Town's Zoning Ordinance. Much focus had been placed on the Town Center district in the 2017 Comprehensive Plan, but zoning provisions for that area did not reflect the goals of citizens. This assessment assisted the Town in auditing its zoning ordinance for changes to assist in catalyzing downtown goals.
