DeKALB – Re:New DeKalb is considering how to continue its mission of revitalizing downtown DeKalb in a time of economic stagnation and uncertainty.

The organization is working with the city to update its long-term plan, said Re:New DeKalb President Frank Roberts. He said it should be completed within the next several months.

Roberts said the original plan called for the area between Walgreens and Pearl Street to undergo heavy commercial development. However, those plans fell through when the 2008 financial crisis began.
