Read the Smith Street Revitalization Plan here!
The Planning Department worked with a team of community residents and stakeholders and consultants to develop a corridor plan for the area surrounding Smith Street within the Smith Hill neighborhood between I-95 and Tyndall Avenue. Through the Plan, the City and its consultants worked with City staff, elected officials, and community members to assess existing conditions and create a series of goals and specific strategies related to redevelopment of vacant and underutilized lots, market conditions and needs, streetscape and mobility improvements, and cultural and arts planning to reinforce and honor the identity of the neighborhood.
The draft plan was presented to the community on May 14, 2020. Comments and feedback from the community were collected via email until May 18, 2020, and incorporated into the final plan.
