Because of economic uncertainties, downtown redevelopment plans have not moved forward. <br />Leaders and stakeholders in the City of Centerville want to revisit the subject of downtown redevelopment, in <br />light of the current market and economic realities. Specifically, leaders are looking for answers to the <br />following questions: <br /> Are market conditions the same as they were nearly twenty years ago? <br /> Is mixed use still viable in downtown? <br /> If mixed use is not a viable, then what is possible? <br /> Are there certain metrics needed for mixed use to become feasible in downtown (i.e., # of traffic <br />counts, income, rooftops, etc.)? <br /> Are the metrics different in a one mile, three mile, and five-mile radius? <br /> If mixed use is still viable, what steps are needed to reinvigorate downtown? <br /> If mixed use is not viable, what actions are needed to spur this type of development? <br /> <br />We have proposed a scope of work that pulls together relevant demographic data, competitive analysis, and <br />interviews with knowledgeable sources to provide answers to these questions and recommendations for <br />moving forward. <br />Scope of Services <br />Project Context <br />1.
