Downtown
Action Plan

Client
City of Grand Forks
Location
Grand Forks, ND
Completion date
May 2020

The City of Grand Forks initiated the Downtown Action Plan following the Mayor's Vibrancy Initiative, which focused on making downtown a greater destination for people to visit, work, and live. The plan and process took a unique approach, which is still being realized, by focusing on creating a compendium of action plans that are tailored to specific audiences.

These compendiums include: Development strategies - which focuses on targeted redevelopment of certain sites and design guidelines, Streetscape - which focuses on designing and rebuilding Demers Avenue and Parks - which focuses on completely redesigning the city's signature downtown gathering space. The streetscape is being implemented before the plan's completion.
