Overview

The Downtown Plan Steering Committee was a temporary committee that assembled to advise, inform, and assist throughout the creation and adoption of an area plan for downtown, called the Beyond Tomorrow Downtown Plan that supersedes the 2000 Downtown Tomorrow Plan. The plan will guide development and policy decisions in the downtown for the next 10 to 20 years.
