Fort Oglethorpe

While addressing the top issues raised by community members in step one of the RSVP, the downtown master plan foldout on the next two pages was produced to help guide local leaders and inform future design concepts prepared for the community.

This master plan addresses the heart of Fort Oglethorpe’s historic core, including Barnhardt Circle, Lafayette Road, and the roads radiating from it. During interviews and focus groups, dozens of residents noted how much they admired the historic tree canopy and attractive officers’ quarters found along Barnhardt Circle. This plan helps extend that tree canopy northward and creates a legacy for future generations.

By addressing the appearance and function of key roads, including Lafayette Road, Thomas Road, and Forrest Road as well as local streets like Harker Road, Hedekin Circle, First Street, and Second Street, this master plan puts forth a more vibrant, welcoming, and connected historic area for all residents. With scores of proposed street trees and expanded sidewalks, this concept envisions reconnecting surrounding neighborhoods with historic Fort Oglethorpe. Together, these improvements help ensure that Barnhardt Circle and historic Fort Oglethorpe serve as the heart of this growing community.
