The Downtown Small Area Plan process began in January 2024 and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The three-phase process will be guided by the Downtown Advisory Board as outlined below.
Phase One - Downtown Assessment
Phase One will focus on establishing the foundation for the Plan. It will include a comprehensive analysis of the study area, small group listening sessions, a community survey, and a public kickoff meeting.
Phase Two - Downtown Workshops
During Phase Two, the community will have three opportunities to participate in downtown workshops to develop the main issues and ideas to include in the future vision for Downtown. Phase two is expected to occur between September 2024 and April 2025.
