• There were several common elements that were revealed in each communities redevelopment <br /> plan. <br /> 1.) Development Areas. Each communities plan contains designated areas of <br /> development. These areas of development address desired use, current land use, zoning, <br /> landscaping, environmental engineering and how the development meets the vision for the <br /> community. 2.) Since redevelopment usually requires drastic land use changes and <br /> numerous technical decisions, most community redevelopment plans were put together <br /> with the assistance of an outside consultant who specializes in corridor and downtown <br /> redevelopment and community consensus building. 3.) Redevelopment is a long range <br /> plan can take several years, requires substantial public assistance up front and presents <br /> many risks and rewards. Undoubtfully a successful redevelopment plan, once initiated, <br /> takes strong local leadership from Councils, Boards and Civic Groups. 4.) In most <br /> communities there is always an element of resistance to change. Not all residents will <br /> agree with plans, especially when there could be significant impacts to peoples lives and <br /> businesses. The most important element is to remain focused on the big picture and long <br /> range vision for the community! <br /> The Highway 10 Subcommittee broke down each property along the corridor into a total of <br /> eleven development areas. <br /> 1.)REGIONAL MANUFACTURING BUSINESS PARK .
