Area-wide Planning Study

This Area-wide Plan (AWP) initiative is focused on advancing the implementation of specific goals in the City’s Comprehensive Plan to repurpose the Mat-Maid Block and the railway corridor to support new uses. The City established a project team, sought community partners, and designated a formal AWP study area. Through the AWP process, the City explored design alternatives, future uses, and an implementation strategy to attract redevelopment in East Downtown Palmer, whereas, the planning efforts were prioritized on the Mat-Maid Block and the railway corridor. This AWP document describes the planning process, the community vision resulting from this process, and recommendations together with an action plan.
