Public Participation Needed for Downtown Opelika Development Plan

May 13th, 2009

Downtown Opelika has seen many new businesses open their doors over the last few years creating vibrancy in the city’s core. The City and Envision Opelika intend to promote additional growth and economic development downtown, creating a valuable business and leisure resource for the community.
