| The
Goal of the Charrette... to create a VISION for the eMain USA neighborhood! |
|||
|
Mayor David Armstrong convened a design charette in February 2000 to gather ideas for eMain from property-owners, e-buisinesses, venture capitalists, educators, technology professionals and other interested stakeholders. The result was a report outlining a vision for the district, an assessment of needs and key goals for making eMain a distinctive, inclusive, cosmopolitan “urban village.”
On February 29, March 1 & 2 of 2000, the first design charrette for eMain USA was held. Approximately 90 individuals attended the first session of the three-day process! Attendees represented a wide diversity of interested parties - property owners, e-business reps, venture capitalists, educators, technology professionals & other diverse stakeholders who contributed input to the visioning sessions. Results included initial plans for private & public development; lists of needs from amenities to support services; graphic renderings of proposed developments; & a growing level of excitement as team members worked hard to shape their collective vision of an "urbanvillage," friendly to the e-commerce community!
