Downtown

We are currently experiencing technical difficulty with documents and images on the site.  Thank you for your patience.  If you need assistance with documents or images, please contact Dan Emerine.

What Will It Cover?

The Downtown subject area will begin with the area contained in the Downtown Development Overlay District.  The group will examine the goals of the district to determine what has been accomplished and what needs remain.  The group will look at the boundaries of "downtown" and examine the zoning techniques used to address this area.
