Revitalization
Plano has always been a thriving and vibrant city that people have chosen to call home. Let’s keep Plano a place we all want to call home for years to come by:
-
Promoting reinvestment in mature neighborhoods to ensure the long-term health and integrity of our city’s housing stock.
-
Investing in the important infrastructure in and around our neighborhoods such as screening walls and sidewalks to help ensure they are well-kept, fresh and inviting.
-
Finding new ways to engage neighborhoods, especially those without a formal association.
-
Analyzing data from established programs like The Great Update Rebate to adapt programs based on community need and to increase effectiveness.
-
Building strong neighborhood identity and a sense of community through creative placemaking and the creation of unique gathering spaces in our neighborhoods.
-
Addressing underutilized four-corner retail and aging developments in a way that integrates well with existing nearby neighborhoods and helps enhance the entryways to Plano’s neighborhoods.
-
Encouraging the development of more diverse housing options to be built in Plano, such as bungalow style housing or other small single-story styles that are in high-demand within the City.
-
Promoting the use of high quality building materials, innovative design and the use of green space in all zoning cases that come before Council.
-
Adding new green spaces with distinctive character and weaving unique art elements throughout our parks and cityscape.
