Corridor-Related Sub-Area Plans

Independence, OH

Randall Gross worked with Planning-Next on sub-area plans recommended as a result of an Economic Development Strategy completed by RGDE. The sub-area plans focused on redevelopment of typical suburban office parks in Independence’s gateway corridor. Over time, the office park model had become less marketable in attracting businesses concerned about recruiting the best workers. Those workers had a preference for walk-able districts that offered amenities for during and after-work. Thus, the plans focused on ways to redevelop these areas in order to establish walk-able mixed-use districts that would form a basis for economic development efforts in this Cleveland suburb. The work was completed for the City of Independence.
