The Hudson Hill/Bayview Neighborhood Plan is the culmination of a partnership between the City of Savannah and the residents of the Hudson Hill/Bayview community, which covers the area bounded by West Bay Street on the south, Savannah’s municipal boundary on the north, East Lathrop Avenue on the east, and West Lathrop Avenue on the west.  The plan builds on the significant work undertaken by neighborhood leaders and residents beginning in the early 2000s to bring about lasting, positive change that supports the community’s vision of a neighborhood “where families are safe, healthy and prosperous.”

The plan is intended to serve as a guide for future development, neighborhood improvements, and capacity building within the Hudson Hill/Bayview community.  As such, it sets forth an action plan and implementation strategies to address neighborhood needs and aspirations in the areas of land use, public safety, housing and property maintenance, economic and workforce development, environment and health, and open space and recreation.  The plan’s goals and implementation strategies directly address the following strategic priorities and goals in the Savannah Forward Strategic Plan: Public Safety; Neighborhood Revitalization; and Economic Strength and Poverty Reduction.

The plan is intended to be in effect for a five-year period after adoption.  The adoption of this plan does not guarantee or commit future City funds and other resources, which must be requested during normal budgetary planning and approval cycles and will compete with all other citywide priorities and needs.
