Residents invited to shape Kalamazoo's future at downtown re-imagination workshop - WWMT-TV

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Kalamazoo residents are invited to another workshop and open house to help re-imagine locations around downtown Kalamazoo.

The workshop, which aims to collect feedback from the community, is focused on four to five locations. This includes the following:

• North Kalamazoo Mall
• Burdick Street between Lovell and Cedar Street
• Rose Street Plaza
• Exchange Alley
• Farmer's Alley

"Downtown needs to keep fresh and vibrant and doing public investment in public infrastructure and placemaking in a downtown drive economic development in bringing jobs and economic activity downtown," Bob Doyle, project leader for Kalamazoo Downtown Placemaking, said.

Wednesday's workshop comes just a month after the Kalamazoo City Commission accepted a $300,000 grant, a portion of which is expected to help construction.

So far, the project is very early in the process, according to Doyle.

Those interested in sharing their ideas about the future of downtown Kalamazoo can stop by the Van Deusen Room of the downtown branch of the Kalamazoo Public Library starting at 5:30 p.m.
