1984 Strategic Plan for Downtown (Greater Aurora Chamber of Commerce, prepared by Teska Associates, Inc.)
The Strategic Plan for Downtown is a comprehensive framework aimed at revitalizing the downtown area by promoting economic growth, livability, and community identity. Informed by market research and public input, the plan outlines short-, mid-, and long-term goals to upgrade infrastructure, attract investment, and reverse economic decline.
Key strategies include: 1) Creating a balanced mix of retail, office, and residential spaces, 2) Increasing downtown residential density to support local businesses, 3) Improving building conditions and expanding office space, 4) Enhancing recreational amenities and hosting cultural events, 5) Reducing government barriers to development, 6)Improving transportation and parking, 7) Differentiating downtown from nearby communities, 8) Establishing a sustainable funding plan, 9) The plan also emphasizes public-private partnerships, integration with institutions like the College of DuPage, and the importance of civic spaces, safe transit, and a coordinated management structure for long-term success.
