Young Professionals Stakeholder Meeting – Downtown Action Plan
Hey W members and young professionals! As a key stakeholder in our community, your input is crucial in developing a vision that reflects the distinct spirit of Wichita and its residents. Downtown Wichita is inviting you to a special meeting with their planning team from Sasaki, to discuss your ideas and perspectives on the future of downtown.
The Downtown Wichita Action Plan is an update to the successful 2010 Project Downtown master plan, which drove $1.7 billion in completed investment and created a project pipeline of more than $760 million. Our new plan aims to build on this success by:
- Attracting further development
- Cultivating strong place identities
- Amplifying cultural assets
- Building strong connections between neighborhoods
- Encouraging strategic, well-designed urban infill
Your participation in this stakeholder meeting will contribute directly to these goals and help ensure that Downtown Wichita continues to be a vibrant core that enhances our quality of life and attracts new Wichitans for years to come.
YPs can also attend the Project Kickoff Open House, Tuesday, March 4, 5-8 p.m. at the WAVE. This event will provide an opportunity to learn more about the Action Plan process, meet Walkable City author Jeff Speck, and engage with other community members.
