AUBURN – During a recent workshop of the Auburn City Council Monday evening, the city’s economic development team unveiled the city’s proposed five-year Downtown Revitalization Plan.
Auburn’s Strategic Plan, completed in 2019, established four “transformational actions” needed to revitalize the city’s downtown area. The revitalization plan recommends strategies, identifies items the city is working on and defines action steps to be taken to reach the goals outlined in the strategic plan.
“Revitalizing our downtown will be a team effort,” said Jay Brenchick, director of economic development. “We need every city department as well as our city council, residents, visitors and local businesses involved. After all, without a great downtown, all other economic development activities will be challenged.”
The plan, presented in an interactive “story map” format, features four proposed transformational actions as well as solutions for how to implement them. The actions include a walkable downtown; redevelopment of the Great Falls area; the establishment of a downtown management district and coordinator; and identifying Auburn’s downtown as the focal point for arts and entertainment in the area.
