The Park Hill neighborhood became a focus of study by city government after gaining ownership of the former Rhodia site, at 11th and Hill. This 16-acre site sits among industrial, commercial and residential property and when trying to redevelop it to its highest and best use, the City knew this could be a pivotal piece of property for the redevelopment of the entire surrounding neighborhood.
In gaining neighborhood and stakeholder support, the City has launched a master plan and implementation strategy to redefine a 1,400-acre industrial area with the ultimate goal of stimulating investment and economic development that will create jobs.
The studies below have helped inform the best way to encourage development within the Park Hill corridor:
