July 8, 2024 Public Meeting:

Thanks to all who came and learned about the updated Brickbottom Neighborhood Plan. City Staff will presented the most current version of the plan and will answered questions from the community. The meeting was hybrid, taking place both in-person and via Zoom.

Current planning efforts for Brickbottom aim to produce a Neighborhood Plan for the development of the area, which will inform infrastructure investments by the City while serving as a precursor to specific zoning changes that will enable new construction. It will primarily focus on the future physical design of streets and parks as well as the shape, size, and architectural character of new buildings. If there is a Master Planned Development overlay district for Brickbottom in the future, this Vision Plan will inform or become the Urban Design Framework that the Planning Board would adopt to enable it.

Brickbottom is identified as an area to transform by SomerVision, the City's comprehensive plan. Therefore we want to enable extensive change in the area, creating new possibilities for housing, civic spaces, and commercial development.
