The second of two Downtown Revitalization open houses will be held tonight from 6 to 8 pm at the Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts (DIVA), 110 West Broadway. The Downtown Revitalization initiative aims to boost the local economy and foster a vibrant downtown.
The open houses will include a “virtual” walking tour of potential project sites and information stations where participants can learn more about the project details, job creation potential, costs, and timing, and provide comments. The eight projects include:
- Lane Community College’s New Downtown Center
- Veterans Affairs Clinic
- Downtown Safety Improvements
- Business Assistance & Housing
- Arts & Entertainment District
- Beam Development’s Centre Court building rehabilitation
- Green Infrastructure
- Downtown Parking Improvements
“We know that no single project will solve the challenges downtown all at once,” said Amanda Nobel Flannery, city project manager, “But together, these projects could work to generate jobs and create an active downtown center that feels safe and welcoming for everyone. We are looking forward to hearing what people think.”
In addition to the open houses, the residents can get more information from and provide feedback on the project website.
