RANGELEY — Wright-Pierce Engineering recently presented a draft of its downtown revitalization plan for the villages of Rangeley and Oquossoc to an audience of approximately 40 community members assembled at Rangeley Region School.
A digital copy of the presentation is available online on the town of Rangeley’s website, www.townofrangeley.com.
Wright-Pierce will incorporate the public feedback and provide the full draft plan with prioritized action items electronically to the public on the town’s website for further review and comment on Oct. 12.
Wright-Pierce has been working with the Rangeley Region Economic Opportunity Committee since January, gathering public input from interviews with local businesses and charitable organizations, surveys, site walks and a public input session. The purpose of September’s meeting was to present findings and gather input, including prioritization of action plans.
Travis Pryor of Wright-Pierce noted at the meeting that the plan should preserve and support the town’s unique character, history and outdoor heritage on a year-round basis.
He presented many recommendations in the areas of zoning and ordinances, building inventory and appearance, employment opportunities, pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure and accessibility, streetscape and utilities, signs, parking and recreation.
