SANTA FE, October 18, 2022 – This Thursday evening, the Planning Commission will hear presentations about the Midtown Master Plan that will inform its recommendations to the Governing Body in anticipation of an expected November vote on the Midtown Redevelopment Plans. Members of the public will have an opportunity to comment.
The hearing will focus on land uses and zoning, at the site and in the district, that will lay the foundations and frameworks for the redevelopment of the 64-acre property through public-private partnerships. The plans are designed to enable Midtown to become a new city center with:
- over 1,000 units of market-rate and affordable housing;
- new enterprises and career opportunities;
- expanded film, TV and digital production facilities;
- spaces for performances, visual arts and other cultural events;
- an education hub with a state-of-the art central library and community center; and
- recreation facilities and green spaces.
"Years of work have gone into these plans, which have been developed according to public input and guidelines stipulated by Governing Body resolutions," says Rich Brown, the Director of Community and Engagement who supervises the planning, applications and redevelopment process. "We are enthused that the public, the Planning Commission, and the Governing Body will have the opportunity to learn more details and provide valuable feedback for what I believe will be one of the most momentous developments in Santa Fe in the twenty-first century."
