CITY OF MONROE DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLAN
Following his first year in office, Mayor Friday Ellis engaged Campo Architecture & Interior Design to conduct a Downtown Monroe Strategic Plan with the goal to revitalize and activate the connection to the riverfront. By capitalizing on Monroe’s historic and cultural assets, this plan seeks to identify specific initiatives designed to increase downtown livability, encourage private sector investment, spur job creation, and promote public interactions that contribute to a unified vision and become a catalyst for continued prosperity for many years to come.
The Downtown Monroe Strategic plan is broken up into 3 phases:
Phase 1 of the Strategic Plan was completed in January 2022. In partnership with the City of Monroe and many local stakeholders, this phase included Inventory & Analysis of existing conditions within Monroe’s downtown, identified by a specific catchment area.
Phase 2 of the Strategic Plan was completed in October 2022. This phase places a strong emphasis on community engagement for the identification of goals, priorities, and urban design initiatives.
Phase 3 of the Strategic Plan has not started as of November 2022. This phase will outline a detailed implementation strategy for the plan and help create a framework for continued growth and development of the plan.
