For the purpose this
plan, we are defining “neighborhood” as the Mixed-Use Center and the surrounding residential neighborhood. These boundaries may be adjusted during the planning process, but it is important to include public amenities (such as parks and schools) that service the core neighborhood.
The Call: Get Involved, Stay Engaged!
Neighborhood stakeholders, led by a stakeholder committee working closely with a consultant team, will determine the goals of the plan and assist with creating a roadmap for implementation.
