Canal District
The Canal District is the City of Savannah’s premier planning and development initiative. Anchored by the new SPLOST-funded arena, the Canal District is located on the west side of Savannah near the intersection of Gwinnet Street and Stiles Avenue. The arena and surrounding district will be one of the largest projects the City has ever undertaken and presents the opportunity to create a vibrant new center of activity adjacent to Savannah’s "downtown".
The City conducted a listening workshop on August 22, 2019 to present preliminary plans and hear feedback from the community. A visioning workshop followed on September 14th, which included draft plan principles and priorities. A plan workshop on October 10th, "District Connections: Water and People" looked specifically at drainage issues. A November 7th, 2019 presentation provided a more comprehensive set of master plan recommendations.
During Council Workshop held on April 23, 2020, the Canal District Master Plan and accompanying Action Playbook was presented to Mayor and Aldermen. To watch the full presentation, please click HERE.
