Body
Presented By: Charnelle Hicks, Principal, CHPlanning
Recommendation and Review
CHPlanning will present the Northeast Neighborhood Small Area Plan. The Harrisonburg Community Connectors project worked with Northeast Neighborhood community members to create a Small Area Plan to guide future growth and investment in the area. The Community Connectors team is led by the Northeast Neighborhood Association, Shenandoah Valley Black Heritage Project, Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance, Harrisonburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority, and the City government. This community-driven Small Area Plan recommends tangible actions to achieve the Northeast Neighborhood’s vision. The Small Area Plan will provide the basis for future land use and transportation planning, urban design, investment decisions in capital projects and programs, and services, and changes to zoning laws. This plan will be appended to the Comprehensive Plan, and is intended to guide community leaders, residents, institutions, community-based organizations, City staff, property owners, and developers.
