A public open house regarding the final draft of the Rock Renaissance Area Redevelopment and Implementation Strategy (ARISE) is planned for Monday, February 2, 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 18 N. Jackson Street. The final draft plans will be displayed in advance of the ARISE public hearing at the Plan Commission meeting, which will commence at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
The purpose of the ARISE plan is to position the downtown as a vibrant neighborhood where commerce, culture, entertainment, and history intersect. ARISE will serve City Staff and the City Council as a “playbook” for aligning and focusing resources in order to draw a consistent and sustainable critical mass of people to the downtown, thereby encouraging diversity in downtown development, businesses, and activities and fostering private development.
