Redmond Mid-Town revitalization plan workshop
The City of Redmond is hosting a public workshop on Wednesday, 6:00 -8:00 pm, Redmond City Hall, 716 SW Evergreen Avenue to review the final draft of a vision and plan for Mid-Town Redmond that will help transform an underused district into a thriving neighborhood that reflects Redmond’s history and hopes for the future.
The Mid-Town is roughly defined as the area between NW 4 th and 7 th Streets from NW Kingwood Avenue south to W Antler Avenue. This is the third and last public workshop for this project.
The city is encouraging all property owners, business owners, tenants, entrepreneurs and residents to attend in order to provide guidance and information on the transformation and vision of the new Mid-Town Area.
This is the third area-wide planning effort that the City of Redmond has conducted for the city center. In 2007 the City hosted a planning effort for the downtown that resulted in Centennial Park, and the pedestrian environment for downtown. In 2011, the City then turned its attention to the northern part of the City Center and drafted a development strategy for the Professional Business Medical District anchored by St. Charles hospital.
“This is a great opportunity for all of us to come together and talk about all of the opportunities and possibilities for the Mid-Town Area of Redmond, to put together the final pieces of the puzzle for Redmond’s city center. I am excited about this effort – great ideas come when many minds get together,” enthused Heather Richards, Community Development Director for the City of Redmond.
