An informational presentation on the initial phase of the two-year planning process for the Central Area Plan: a 20-year Vision for Equitable Downtown Growth. This update will include an overview of the draft Central Area Existing Conditions and Trends report, a summary of the feedback received throughout 2023 community engagement activities and a discussion of draft vision statements which will guide the second phase of the initiative in 2024.
