The three-year plan represents a natural extension of revitalization efforts that the Town has been engaged in over the past five years. It also demonstrates the degree to which Town leaders have embraced the importance of diverse cultural and historic assets while at the same time recognizing the need to provide mixed use opportunities to invigorate Hyannis’ year-round economy. The Town has identified 11 project milestones for the first year of the project. REDPP funds will allow Barnstable to hire a design consultant to assist with the review of public and private projects, implement an education program for Town staff, property owners and community groups around smart growth principles, and develop visualizations of redevelopment opportunities. One of the main tasks of the consultant will be to review proposed projects for consistency with the recently created Design and Infrastructure Plan which lists development guidelines for mixed use buildings downtown and which conveys what the Town and its partners are looking for in terms of architecture and design of the public realm. A second consultant will be hired to work with Barnstable’s Growth Management Department and the Hyannis Main Street BID to explore opportunities for using District Improvement Financing and Tax Increment Financing to help the Town finance public works, infrastructure and new development. And a community charrette will inform citizens about current revitalization efforts and solicit their ideas about future downtown projects to stimulate economic development and improve the streetscape. |

Town of Yarmouth Route 28 Village Center Project. Working with outside consultants, the Town has developed recommendations for the location of several village or activity centers along the Route 28 corridor including a medical mixed use area, two retail-oriented centers, a mixed use marine village and park, a traditional village center and four activity centers where housing and /or motel redevelopment could be encouraged. The REDPP grant will enable Yarmouth to conduct a market analysis on both commercial and residential properties in the prioritized areas. The analysis will describe the preferred mix of businesses and housing for each of the targeted locations and point the way to the creation of zoning bylaws that would be needed in advance of preferred development taking place.Yarmouth will also conduct a build-out analysis to better understand the implications of proposed zoning changes in each of the areas. A build-out analysis will show how much development could potentially occur under proposed zoning, inform decisions around the creation of development incentives, and help to estimate traffic and wastewater impacts as well as the costs associated with mitigation efforts. Visualizations will be undertaken to help the Town garner public support for zoning changes recommended for the prioritized areas. The visualizations will depict commercial development possibilities as well as examples of what various housing densities would look like. (Regional Economic Development Pilot Program) |

Town of Harwich East Harwich Village Center Initiative. 2006, 2007 The initiative is a long-term program designed to enhance the safety, economic viability, community character and quality of life in and around an area that is experiencing rapid commercial development without the benefit of a village plan. Currently, development is not occurring in a fashion that promotes a village identity, provides meaningful pedestrian connections, or addresses the Town’s needs for workforce housing. The East Harwich Village Center Initiative will afford the Town an opportunity to address the future of the commercial district and surrounding undeveloped lands through the design and implementation of a vision and land use and infrastructure plan that is developed through a public process. Land use and infrastructure scenarios developed through public forums will include analyses of traffic management and pedestrian access, commercial build out and design guidelines, visualizations, proposed workforce housing locations, alternative strategies for wastewater management and opportunities for using renewable energy technologies. The scenario building process will culminate—in the second year of the project—in the selection of a preferred development scenario and the creation of a full development plan.
