Working with the City of Florence and the Florence Downtown Development Corporation (FDDC), KKC performed a thorough update to the City’s Downtown Master Plan. The plan showcased several new opportunities for Downtown Florence including a new urban business park and professional office complex, along with a new “cultural campus,” to tie together several Downtown cultural institutions. The plan also put forth several recommendations for major public improvements including, among others, major streetscape enhancements, a mixed-use transit center, and a transit loop connecting Downtown to a neighboring medical complex. The Plan included a strategic implementation framework concentrating on new urban housing development; the expansion of Downtown-area jobs; the stabilization/rehabilitation the City’s Downtown Historic District; the introduction of public space; the opportunistic expansion of the City’s first ever tax increment finance district; and the leveraging of several new catalytic investments made by the city’s main philanthropic organization.
