In the February 6-12 edition of the Ithaca Times, there was an article on the recent retirement of Ithaca’s longtime planning director, Thys VanCort. The article is a great primer on the past 35 years of planning history in Ithaca, including the creation of the Commons, a hydroelectric plant proposal for Fall Creek, the development of Southwest Ithaca and new construction near the Commons and in Collegetown. It’s a great read if you are a student wanting to learn more about the hot-button planning issues in Ithaca. Click here for the Ithaca Times article on Thys VanCort (21 MB).
