FORWARD BOUND DOREMUS

Phase 1: INITIATION - Project Launch + Existing Conditions Analysis (February – October 2020)

We will listen and learn from you, through a series of virtual and limited in-person community engagement activities, about your aspirations and vision, existing issues and challenges for the Port-Industrial Districts and its surrounding areas. The planning team will work to understand and analyze the existing conditions of the Study Area.

Phase 2: EXPLORATION - Issues & Opportunities + Concept Plans (November– December 2020)

Using what we learned from you in Phase 1, the planning team, with the guidance of steering committee members, will dive deeper into understanding the issues and opportunities of the Port-Industrial District and its surrounding areas and start drafting the vision, goals, and initial redevelopment scenarios.

Phase 3: VALIDATION - Plan Development (January– March 2021)

We refine the vision, goals, and initial redevelopment scenarios, and present them to you, the community, for your input and validation. The community and steering committee will have the opportunity to provide their feedback through a series of virtual or limited-in person engagement activities.

Phase 4: DOCUMENTATION - Draft and Final Redevelopment Plan (April– May 2021)

In the final phase, we will take all the feedback we have gathered from the community on the draft plan and produce the final redevelopment plan. The final plan will provide actionable steps to implement the vision for the Doremus Port-Industrial District.
