Vision for Downtown Redevelopment

This Vision for Downtown Redevelopment in Burlington, Iowa presents the key findings and recommendations of the Iowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities, which are based on input from a broad cross-section of the Burlington community, as well as on background research and a business inventory of Downtown Burlington. 

The ensuing report provides an explanation of IISC’s partnership with Downtown Partners; an explanation of the 2011 Downtown Inventory and an analysis of Inventory results; and a detailed description of IISC’s community engagement process; as well as a summary of public input gathered through interviews, surveys, and focus groups.

This document is intended to be used as a guide for Downtown Partners, Inc. as it continues to promote sustainable redevelopment in Downtown Burlington.  This document is also meant to inform the City, developers, business owners, and the general public about the potential for upper-story redevelopment and other opportunities for the overall improvement of Downtown Burlington.
