Participate in shaping Dillwyn's future by taking the community survey for Dillwyn Awakened.
Take the surveyDillwyn Awakened is a guide for the town's future. This plan is being developed as a joint project of VCU and Dillwyn's town council, provided at no expense to the citizens of Dillwyn. The project is directed by Master's candidate of Urban and Regional Planning Studies, Eric Sundberg. Eric is no stranger to Dillwyn—he has regularly visited the town for several years and completed a portion of his undergraduate work nearby, at Longwood University.
The aim of this guide is to expand on the town's current comprehensive plan, providing updates where needed and actionable solutions to improve the town. To understand the needs of Dillwyn's citizens, Dillwyn Awakened will survey the community and local businesses for insight into their perspectives on Dillwyn and its future.
This guiding document for the town's development and planning will provide three major components:
This website will document Dillwyn Awakened's development and recommendations. The project lead, Eric Sundberg, will review the findings from our community survey, business survey, and interviews and provide a series of recommendations for the town council. The project will be completed and presented to the town in May of 2023.
