St. Albans City – Targeted Area Planning Project | Northwest Regional Planning Commission

This project was a strategic planning effort that encouraged private investment and guided private and public investment around a community supported vision for the Catherine, Market and Stebbins Street area. The project provided property owners and potential developers with reuse concepts and risk analysis to facilitate redevelopment and improvement of high priority properties. This intersection was along the planned Federal Street Multi-Modal Connector project and a prime spot to focus revitalization efforts given the imminent sidewalk and roadway improvements, proximity to downtown St. Albans and the fact that many properties are vacant or underused.

The work was conducted for the Northwest Regional Planning Commission on behalf of the City of St. Albans by White and Burke along with Sanborn Head and SE Group under the guidance of a Project Steering Committee.

The project consisted of the following main components:

1. The investigation of land use, environmental and market conditions for the area;
2. A public visioning/design workshop;
3. Reuse concepts for selected sites with corresponding feasibility assessments and renderings; and
4. A compiled area wide plan and implementation suggestions.
