<br />The City of Newport faces many challenges and opportunities over the <br />next 20 years as US TH 61 is reconstructed. The opportunities that the <br />City face include cleaning up undesirable and inefficient land uses and <br />redeveloping them into attractive places to live, work, shop and play. <br /> <br />HK Gi worked with the City to prepare a redevelopment plan for 7'" Avenue <br />that includes a new City Hall, additional park and open space areas that <br />provide separation and open space between the railroad and future <br />development, and a pedestrian path system that provides connections to <br />greater Newport and the Mississippi River. These various public <br />improvement projects are intended to attract private investment and help <br />ensure that the character of new development incorporates character <br />elements from the surrounding area like historic preservation in the street <br />pattern and the use of the historic switching tower at the terminus of 6'" <br />Street, historically called 'Main Street.' <br /> <br />This redevelopment plan is the fIrst of many projects that are listed as <br />implementation steps in the 1999 Comprehensive Plan for the City of <br />Newport. This Comprehensive Plan was also developed by HKGi. <br /> <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />7th Avenue Redevelopment <br />Plan <br /> <br />Newport, Minnesota <br /> <br />City af Newpart <br /> <br /> <br />Hoisington Koegler Group Inc, <br /> <br />11111 <br />R!D <br />
