The City of Hagerstown is excited to work with the community to refresh YOUR vision for downtown! Through this plan, we will work with residents, businesses, students, and visitors to continue making downtown the heart of our community. Through an extensive engagement process that includes community events, online surveys, and in-person events, we will plan together to accomplish the following outcomes:

• Assess downtown’s market conditions and opportunities.

• Build consensus and ownership among local stakeholders in the formation of implementation strategies.

• Identify linkage opportunities within downtown and between downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.

• Coordinate with other on-going planning efforts in Hagerstown.

• Create a comprehensive implementation plan that identifies and conceptualizes key catalyst projects for downtown and tests their financial feasibility.
