Take the survey here: https://growth.columbiasc.gov/portfolio/congaree-riverfront-district/ \nFollowing City Council’s December 2025 approval of a professional services agreement to begin planning and design work for the 100-acre riverfront district\, along with a $5 million philanthropic commitment from the Boyd Foundation\, the City of Columbia and its design team are now turning their focus to listening. \nThe City will host the first in a series of public meetings on April 1\, offering residents\, stakeholders and riverfront users an opportunity to share ideas\, priorities and concerns before any design concepts are developed. \n“For years\, we’ve talked about truly connecting our city to our three rivers. This first phase of engagement is the next step in creating 27 miles of continuous greenway that will redefine the Capital City\,” said Mayor Daniel Rickenmann. “This isn’t just about a single park; it’s about a vibrant district reflecting the unique character of our community. Your input on everything from recreation to environmental preservation is at the heart of this process. This is your riverfront\, and we want the final vision to be a reflection of your dreams for Columbia.” \nThe first public meeting will focus on gathering input regarding opportunities and challenges along the riverfront\, desired recreational amenities and public spaces\, environmental priorities and preservation\, and links to surrounding neighborhoods and destinations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”783281″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
