Announcing a new Meetup for Life On Havana Street!

What: Fan Fare/Havana North Redevelopment Visioning Workshop

When: October 22, 2009 6:00 PM

Please bring your ideas and join us in a public visioning workshop about redevelopment of the old Fan Fare Building and Havana North (commercial properties between Bayaud and 6th Avenue along Havana). You all know the area--that ugly bubble building at 3rd & Havana that is surrounded by barbed wire and has been vacant and deteriorating for over 25 years! The workshop is Thursday night, October 22, 6-8 p.m., at the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E Alameda Avenue (NW corner of Alameda and Chambers) on the first floor in the City Council Chambers.

This is the first of three public workshops. Come hear about the redevelopment feasibility study that was completed earlier this year and about the Havana District Design Concepts Plan that designates this area as an, "activity center." We will be discussing Blight Studies and Urban Renewal Areas as tools to assist with redevelopment of the area. What should become of the Fan Fare building--scrape it or attempt to save it as an Historic Landmark? What do you want in the area--mixed use development including some nicer restaurants? How about the possibility of a recreation center or public gathering place for an expanded Farmers' Market and festivals? This is a hands-on workshop where you will be shown maps and asked to envision what the area should look like in the future. We need input from our On Havana Street meet-up group members, since this is our community and our chance to guide redevelopment of the area. Please come!
