North Main Street Corridor Plan
The City of Urbana, in partnership with residents, local businesses, and community partners, is developing a Plan for a portion of the North Main Street corridor. The goal of the plan is to guide future development and redevelopment opportunities. The plan process will result in recommendations for future land use, zoning code updates or revisions, and infrastructure improvements to support investment and reinvestment within this corridor.
The North Main Street Corridor Plan will include the area along North Main Street from Gwynne Street/Washington Avenue to Grimes Circle. The Plan will be based on input from residents, local businesses, and other community stakeholders.
The prime consultant on the project is Burton Planning Services.
