The Economic Development Division is currently managing three infrastructure improvement and master-planning projects in District 7 with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds dedicated by Councilor Szymanski in 2024. These projects focus on infrastructure, connectivity and walkability, safety and streetscape design, neighborhood revitalization, re-investment and overall quality of life. These projects are all designed to be informed by the public, so please see the information below and join us in person at an upcoming public meeting or reach out via the provided contacts.
The project is to create an overall master plan representing the community’s vision to revitalize a “campus” area that includes two closed schools, various community center buildings, and the City’s Therapeutic Recreation Center, which is currently under renovation. Neighborhood and stakeholder outreach and engagement are critical project elements to develop the plan.

Placemaking and Livability Initiative –We share information, create design plans and recommend policies with a goal to enhance livability and develop impactful places throughout the city. The focus is on improving the quality of the shared urban environment; including but not limited to public spaces and parks, streets and trails, neighborhoods, downtown and neighborhood business district revitalization, public art and programming. Urban design plans support economic and community development by enhancing the quality, health, safety, and performance of the public places that connect the City and its wonderfully diverse neighborhoods.
