DALTON, Ga. — Area leaders may borrow ideas from Columbus, Ga., to transform downtown into an “uptown.”
About 30 community leaders recently traveled to Columbus to learn how Columbus State University and the city worked together to bring college life downtown, or to what they call the city’s “Uptown.”
Hopes are to do something similar with Dalton State College and the downtown area here.
“We’re obviously trying to attract more life downtown,” Mayor David Pennington said. “Having students downtown does it pretty quickly.”
