1.1.1 Goals and Purpose
The overall goal of the Auburn Downtown Plan (the Plan) is to
strengthen the downtown community, economy, and image by
building on existing assets, facilitating catalyst projects in key
locations, stimulating infill and redevelopment, and constructing
high-quality infrastructure. Other goals of the Plan are to evaluate
the Downtown Plan's land use impacts on public facilities, to
evaluate the impacts of increased rail traffic on the livelihood of
Downtown, to establish City policy that implements and promotes
revitalization, and to bring stakeholders together to generate ideas
and concepts useful in developing a common strategy for the
Downtown's future.
Downtown has been the heart of Auburn, both physically and
culturally, since the community was founded-in 1891. Like most
American communities, downtown Auburn declined in the 1960s
and 1970s as the suburbs grew and retail activity went elsewhere.
