Big changes may be coming to Mobile's skyline. From apartments and shops being built at the Civic Center to a riverwalk along Mobile's waterfront, those are just a few ideas in the City of Mobile's new master plan that was unveiled Monday. Some other changes you might see are: revitalized neighborhoods including the M.L.K. Avenue area where theatres, restaurants, and shops may be built or turning the closed landfill on Hickory Street into a sports complex. The city spent more than 300-thousand in taxpayer dollars to hire a planning firm and project manager to put the plan together. We're told it was developed through research and public input. The master plan must go before the city's planning commission and council before it can move forward.
