DOWNTOWN
MASTER PLAN
Capitol
The Capitol building is the heart of this district, which is dominated by government uses. This area will remain as one of the major employment centers downtown and would be a great place for a new museum or cultural destination. In an area with little other green space, the Capitol Grounds can act as an oasis for downtown residents – a great place to read a book under a tree, meet with friends or eat lunch outside.
- State government focus
- The People’s greenspace – dual purpose
- Docking renovation / Class A space
- Parking lot re-use / infill
- Jackson / Harrison conversions
