Downtown Master Planning
Harrisonburg's first downtown master planning process
We teamed up with the City of Harrisonburg and a few talented consultants experienced in downtown planning so we can lead a process that starts with a community-driven vision for the future of downtown and ends with a plan for how to achieve that vision. There will be multiple ways for community members to contribute to the conversation and participate in creating this vision for the next 20 years of Downtown's evolution.
