Plan 2023
Every 10 years, DFWI partners with the City and The T to update the Downtown Strategic Action Plan. The plan is actively used as a tool to prioritize and guide policy decisions and planning initiatives for the three partners. It is also incorporated into the City’s comprehensive plan and implemented through a series of committees and public/private partnerships. The 2003 Strategic Action plan can be downloaded here.
The new Strategic Action Plan will reflect the community’s vision for a livable, healthy, economically vibrant and exciting downtown for the next 10 years. The plan will build on downtown’s existing natural, cultural, social and physical assets. It will provide a strong foundation for strategic actions that will shape downtown’s future development, enhance connections to surrounding neighborhoods and strengthen downtown’s role as the heart of the city. PLAN 2023 shall include, but not be limited to, the following components:
- Vision
- Transportation
- Urban Design, Open Space & Public Art
- Business Development
- Retail, Arts & Entertainment
- Education
PLAN 2023 will serve as a benchmark for public and private decisions that affect downtown. It will be used as a tool to help make policy decisions and to promote downtown and investment.
