We made our presentation this morning recommending that the North Nevada Corridor in #ColoradoSprings be reinvisioned as an #InnovationNeighborhood. The Panel’s observations and recommendations were well received by the community, and our presentation will be available on the Urban Land Institute’s website followed by a full report later this spring. I also want to say it was a privilege and so much fun working with my fellow panelists! #retail #retailresilience #economicdevelopment #redevelopment
This week, I’m honored to be invited to Colorado Springs to serve on an Urban Land Institute Advisory Services Panel (ULI ASP) to provide recommendations on the redevelopment of the historic North Nevada Avenue Corridor. Together, with the community, our panel will think about strategies to revitalize the area leveraging innovation, emerging tech, key industries, placemaking, thoughtful design and real estate development. Special thanks to our hosts University of Colorado Colorado Springs , the Honorable Mayor Blessing ‘Yemi’ Mobolade , City of Colorado Springs , Colorado Springs Utilities , Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority and the entire community. It has been a privilege to visit the beautiful Pikes Peak region. I’m excited to explore the great potential of North Nevada Ave, hear from residents about their aspirations for the area, and celebrate the remarkable growth and world class developments that are unfolding in Colorado Springs. #ULIAdvisoryServices ULI ASP Committee Members and Staff: The Honorable Glenda Hood (Chair), Jose Bodipo Memba , Hal Ferris , David Greensfelder , Todd Meyer , Michael Samuelian , Anthony E.
