The two plans contain an ambitious vision and broad list of policies and projects that have been designed to revitalize the heart of the city. The Downtown Development Code is designed to attract growth to Downtown and shape it in ways that make Downtown an attractive, comfortable, and dynamic urban center as envisioned by the plans.
