The goal was to enhance the corridor between Baker College and downtown Owosso by focusing on the built environment including connections, gateways, and the streetscape. They wanted to create a sense of place capable of stimulating economic growth and building social equity. This project provided an assessment of the development area in terms of size, accessibility, condition, and related factors, a report on the recommended action plan or alternate plans for uses of the area in its component parcels, a potential implementation strategy, concept design or designs (layouts) of the area as it related to future land use, and a professional planning document that included data, analysis, and recommendations.
