Commercial/Institutional Redevelopment

Existing commercial and office properties through out the support area of the central business district should be allowed to expand in a quality manner to strengthen and improve their neighborhood. New businesses that support the adjacent neighborhoods should be encouraged.

Institutions (churches, human service programs, schools, medical offices) and their facilities provide a significant anchor within the community, for neighborhoods and the downtown. Institutions should be preserved and accommodated in the potential expansion and upgrade of facilities to ensure their viability within the downtown community.
