Neighborhood
Plan
The College North Neighborhood Plan provides a framework for future development for the area north of College Avenue (serving as a hub connecting neighborhoods, downtown and Lawrence University) that facilitates greater connectivity between the City, adjacent neighborhoods, existing businesses, and not-for-profits while recognizing the influences between buildings, social settings, and the surrounding environment.
Additionally, this plan builds upon the vision and goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan, identified and responded to current conditions and issues, and provided a market analysis, redevelopment alternatives, implementation plans and strategies. Numerous projects have been built following the plan's completion, including a major update to the City's downtown public library.
