36/71 Gateway Enhancement and Zoning Initiative
The project underscores the importance of strategic planning for sustainable economic growth and community character preservation, committing to collaboration with stakeholder engagement, and zoning strategies that resonate with local visions and objectives.
The 36/71 Gateway Enhancement and Zoning Initiative articulates an ambitious plan for Berkshire Township, targeting the evaluation and enhancement of its zoning overlay districts, creation of a new district for commercial tax revenue growth, and the development of a gateway and placemaking program.
Capitalizing on the strategic position of the township along the I-71 corridor and the forthcoming US 36/I-71 interchange, the 36/71 Gateway Enhancement and Zoning Initiative will outline a comprehensive assessment of existing zoning overlays, the establishment of a new district aimed at harnessing commercial development, and a beautification initiative to bolster the township’s identity and appeal.
