Provide your feedback on proposed future developments for the Beckley Road/Lakeview Downtown Development Authority area!
After extensive community input and research on the current condition of the area, this open house will give you a chance to provide feedback on proposed improvements to the district. Beat the heat and join us inside at the Horrocks Tavern to meet other community members, learn more about the project, and share your input on the direction of the redevelopment plan!

The city is working on a new vision for the Beckley Road corridor, our large commercial area on the south side of the city, and we want to hear from the community!
We are working with consultant Progressive AE to rethink what the Beckley corridor could look like with future redevelopment, to increase the economic vitality and attractiveness of this aging part of the city. This work will incorporate housing opportunities, day and night uses, and better mobility for cars, pedestrians, and public transit, while enhancing the area’s natural environment.
Stay tuned throughout this year for more opportunities to engage and give feedback about the Beckley Road corridor, part of the Lakeview Downtown Development Authority. The city commission approved this assessment project last fall, estimated to cost $288,833 and paid for by American Rescue Plan Act funds. There are no plans for immediate projects following this assessment, but it is a needed step to help guide future opportunities.
