5 REVITALIZE FIRST AVENUE

6 KNIT THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER Shakopee is a growing city with an historic downtown as well as multiple neighborhood and retail centers. Strategic improvements to key roadway corridors, through a combination of private redevelopment efforts and public street design will enhance proximity and connectivity for residents and employees, providing options to access shopping, dining and retail services by multiple modes of travel.

First Avenue is the gateway to Downtown and an important linkage to the Valley Green Business park. Aging commercial sites are underutilized assets that can be redeveloped with a mixture of uses, filling the gaps in the city’s housing, office, and retail/dining offerings, while improving the appearance and walkability of this important corridor.
