Downtown Development and Design Guidelines

The Downtown Development and Design Guidelines, adopted by the Evansville Redevelopment Commission on July 1, 2003, exist to serve several purposes:

  • To ensure an orderly, high-quality development process
  • To protect and enhance major public investments in the area
  • To encourage both small- and large-scale private investment in the area
  • To minimize development costs by eliminating guesswork and reducing potential development problems
  • To protect and maintain historic features
  • To create walkable, human-scaled streets
  • To create high-quality public spaces
  • To encourage development and improvements that preserve the qualities of the downtown area that make it urban
  • To encourage environmentally sustainable development
