    The Town of Bridgewater is located near the southern border of Rockingham County and along the northern edge of the North River. The town currently encompasses 2.48 square miles with a population of approximately 5,774 in 2012.

    The Community Design Assistance Center was tasked with developing a conceptual design for a 4.73 acre park at the Mill View Estates Subdivision. The site is located along the northwestern section of Bridgewater’s corporate limits. The new park will serve residents of that part of town which currently do not have a park close by.

    Throughout the design process, the Mill View Estates Park team, which consisted of the CDAC team and representatives from the Town of Bridgewater, worked collaboratively to develop a conceptual plan for the Town of Bridgewater. This report documents the design process and describes the final concept that was developed.

    Newport Village Green conceptual master plan update
    Gilboy, Elizabeth; Steika, Kim; Dunne, Peter; McKenna, Katelyn; Paul, Lauren; Poteet, Tish (Virginia Tech. Community Design Assistance Center, 2014-05)
    Newport is a small village in Giles County located “between Gap Mountain, Salt Pond Mountain, and Spruce Run Mountain. It is the center community for Spruce Run, Mountain Lake, Clover Hollow, and Sinking Creek.”* The Village Green came into existence in 1997, following a conceptual design process through Professor Eran Ben Joseph’s undergraduate landscape architecture studio at Virginia Tech. Since that time, it has served the church and community well. Annual community events are hosted there (Easter egg hunt, ice cream social, Fourth of July event, etc). It also serves as a venue for weddings, community movie nights, and music events.

    Some additional site features are desired to better accommodate these growing uses of the site. Additionally, some of the vegetation on the site is reaching maturity and requires updating. The Trustees would like to use these needs as an opportunity to take a comprehensive look at the Village Green and to update the conceptual master plan with a fresh look to the future. The Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) was asked to assist in this process by working with the project stakeholders and the larger community to develop an updated conceptual master plan for the site.
