In 2017, the Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department conducted a Frenchtown Placemaking Study at the City Commission's direction, responding to community concerns about student and affordable housing developments in the historic neighborhood. The study aims to strengthen the Frenchtown community by ensuring future development aligns with community vision and that funding from The Standard parcel sale, Community Redevelopment Agency resources, and other allocations produce tangible outcomes. A Frenchtown Steering Committee of community members, planning staff, and a city commissioner guided the planning process and will transition to a Frenchtown Working Group to implement the plan's goals.
