A ProposaI for the Comprehensive Revitalization of Downtown Bryan
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to prepare a plan for the comprehensive revitalization of downtown Bryan. The intent of the plan shall be to integrate downtown’s past heritage and present conditions into a formula for progress which would neither erase the past nor displace the present.
The project will be divided into four segments: a general study of urban areas in order to understand the economic, social, and demographic aspects of urban/suburban relationships; the preparation of an outline of the requirements for the establishment of a self-sustaining economy in the area; the preparation of an architectural master plan for the site; and the design of a financial structure which would provide the needed initial capital and consolidate the economic assets of the locality under the control of one financial entity.
The successful implementation of this entire project would provide for the community of Bryan/College Station a neighborhood which could be shared by all its citizens and could serve as the focal point for the cultural development of the city.
