Imagine Monteagle: This Plan Is for You!
What does Monteagle want to be when it grows up? Monteagle has a complex history — the summit of the trail crossing into Georgia in the early 1800s, a stopover point for the Mountain Goat Railroad fostering commerce in the mid-1800s, the home of the educational initiatives Fairmont College and the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly in the late 1800s, and in the mid-1900s the home of Highlander Folk School teaching strategies for nonviolent change to up and coming civil rights leaders Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. Yet for all that, Monteagle has always had a small-town vibe. At the present, though, Monteagle is experiencing heavy commercial and residential development pressure, an explosion in real estate activity coupled with an explosion in outdoor-based recreational opportunities. Imagine Monteagle! What is Monteagle’s future? What are the hopes and desires of the residents? At the Imagine Monteagle planning event, Thursday, April 25, from 5:30-7 p.m., at City Hall, representatives from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will meet one-on-one with residents to learn the answers to those questions and draw up a road map for Monteagle’s future.
