Town Center District

The Town of Woolsey recognizes its historic beginnings as a rural, railroad center located between Griffin and Fayetteville. Although the rail line has long been removed, Woolsey retains its semi-rural heritage and has maintained the historic town center. The Town of Woolsey Comprehensive Plan 2017 establishes policies based on themes highlighted during the planning process. These themes are expressions of a desired future for the town center and include the following: Town center is planned to accommodate pedestrian-scale, commercial development.; Such development will complement existing development in the town center and be similar in scale and exterior finishes.; Preservation of historic properties in the town center is important to Woolsey’s sense of place.; Woolsey will remain a semi-rural enclave comprised of estate residential and agricultural residential properties surrounding a pedestrian-scale town center that preserves historic structures and institutional uses.; Improvement in the intrinsic value of the town center through preservation of historic properties is vital.; Dispersed development projects that are unrelated to one another and occur in isolation at random locations outside the town center are to be avoided.; The emphasis shall be on beautification of corridors, controlling commercial sprawl along those corridors, preventing commercial encroachment into adjacent neighborhoods, and protecting the historic character of the town center.
