KING DRIVE CORRIDOR PLAN

The corridor plan will provide updated comprehensive planning recommendations for land use, architectural design, economic development, historic and cultural preservation and streets and public spaces along the King Drive Corridor. Public engagement is critical to the success of the plan, and ensures that the long-term vision for King Drive reflects the goals and aspirations of the community.
