What are the benefits of master planning the entire 60 acres?
Instead of a piecemeal approach to growth, developing the Ward properties in the context of a master plan produces long-term benefits to the community by creating features that would not be feasible through developing small parcels separately. These features include comprehensive strategies for improved streets and infrastructure, more open space, enhanced view corridors, and more diverse housing, as well as a diverse mix of uses including shopping, dining, entertainment, and employment opportunities. By developing the entire neighborhood in the context of the larger vision, key amenities are possible and a cohesive community can emerge where people can live, work, play and learn without having to travel.
