Urban Renaissance

GOAL:
Revitalize Tucson's urban center so that it excites, attracts and economically benefits the entire region.

STRATEGIES:
1) Form a Downtown Development Group
Establish a new catalytic public/private development group dedicated to downtown revitalization. The group would be responsible for developing the vision and plan to accelerate the massive recreation of Downtown Tucson and provide final recommendations to the Mayor and Council.

2) Target Quality Growth Zones
Implement a Quality Growth Zones initiative in Pima County, working with private sector leaders and local and state officials to plan and develop the region's most important economic development corridors in a competitive and sustainable way. The process will include master planning and strategic investment planning with responsible, forward-thinking leadership. Targeted zones have been preliminarily identified as follows:
    * Downtown
    * Campbell Avenue Corridor
    * Marana Development Area
    * Airport Development Area
    * Kino Parkway Corridor Development Area
    * Oro Valley Development Area
    * I-19 Corridor Development Area
    * I-10 Corridor
