What would make people actually spend time there?
Downtown development is about more than constructing buildings.
A successful district depends on the relationship between businesses, streets, sidewalks, shade, parking, gathering places, events and the ability to move comfortably from one destination to another.
DHS 2040 examines how Downtown might gradually become a place where residents and visitors have multiple reasons to arrive, walk around, eat, shop, attend an event and stay longer.
The City’s adopted strategy specifically calls for revitalizing the Downtown Art and Culture District to attract events, support business development and enrich arts and culture for residents and visitors.
