Downtown Plan Update

  • The plan was to provide the framework for downtown decision making for 20 years - the city is approaching the culmination of that 20-year period timeframe
  • Public policy, market conditions and building technologies have changed, therefore the need to reevaluate and update long-range policies
  • The majority of implementation programs (identified by the plan) have been achieved
