The Study will help the Township plan for and respond to interest in redevelopment and revitalization. The Study will look at the entire Core Area, focusing on underused land. It will consider public spaces, new buildings with a mix of uses including retail on the ground floor and residential on upper stories, building design, streets and parking. There’s an opportunity to protect the historic character of Elmira to serve the residential community and to develop a unique destination to expand its role as a local economic driver for the Township. As an early step in the process, The Planning Partnership hosted a virtual meeting on November 29th to present observations on the character of Elmira’s Core Area streets, parks, buildings and uses, thoughts on key design considerations and important components of healthy/vibrant urban centres.
