In December 2004, the Partnership Alliance announced plans for the redevelopment of the city center. Enthusiasm in the community ignited strong support for the revitalization of a downtown center that, as increased demand for office and retail space escalates, was on the cusp of transforming from a slightly rural ambience in the ‘90s to a more energetic, dynamic core for the thriving businesses at the heart of our city.
Carefully researched, the consulting firm for the new city center master plan painstakingly defined, refined and analyzed improvements that would draw both residents and tourists to a Main Street that once claimed to be “America’s widest.”
A new visitor’s center in the historical Federal building is central to the galleries and boutiques that are emerging on all sides.
