Approved by the City Council on September 11, 2006, it identifies key sites for redevelopment based on the creation of a mixed-use/financial district, including the introduction of housing and professional office space; pedestrian circulation improvements; creation of an identifiable visual character for West Main Street; and public infrastructure improvements. Sites 4, 5, 6, and 7 are proposed for redevelopment under the Master Plan at this time.
