Snohomish Developers Forum - Tuesday, November 15
The City of Snohomish and the Cascade Land Conservancy invite you to a Developers Forum for Snohomish’s Pilchuck District, a special redevelopment area in the heart of Snohomish, Washington. This innovative redevelopment strategy recently was recognized with a 2011 VISION 2040 Award from the Puget Sound Regional Council. We hope you will appreciate the legislative changes already enacted for this area, and that you will provide feedback regarding the practical realities of land development.
The forum will take place on Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 7:30-10:30 am at CCR Restaurant, 215 Cypress Avenue, Snohomish, WA 98290. A hearty, complimentary breakfast will be served.
The Pilchuck District is located in between the Pilchuck River and the nationally registered historic downtown district. The District is bringing change to an area that has a desirable location for residential and retail opportunities. The District would also be suitable for a destination lodging and conference facility to complement the tourism and the casual and competitive sports recreation industry that historic Snohomish currently has and continues to develop. Snohomish plans to revitalize The Pilchuck District neighborhood into a vibrant community using several innovative programs, including transfer of development rights (TDR), complete streets, design standards that make use of the river front, and market-based land use planning. The City will share what has already been done in the area to assist development.
The forum will be interactive in that you will be invited to share the realities of development in today’s economy and to make recommendations to the City and CLC staff on what it will really take to implement the District plan and kick off active development.
We look forward to your participation as we continue to create land development policies that reflect the suggestions of experienced builders. If you are able to join us please RSVP to the City's Economic Development Manager Debbie Emge at emge@ci.snohomish.wa.us or 360-282-3197 by November 9, 2011.
