Building Community - with community buildings
Gray Master Plan
Gray ME
Re-development Plan - Lachman Architects & Planners worked with GeoPlan and Gorrill Palmer Engineers to plan the future for 5 acres at the core of the village, including both public and private properties and buildings.
Exploring Alternatives - Existing properties are severely constrained by awkward property lines, restricted zoning and parking requirements, which together inhibited re-development. These constraints were suspended to explore alternatives, such as shared parking, reduced curb cuts, pocket parks and efficient direct sidewalks.
Smart Growth Designs - feature buildings at the street edge and interior parking to be consistent with Town goals for pedestrian and bike friendliness, open and recreation space, and visual connections.
Community Design Workshop - During a day-long event citizens working in breakout groups identified potential uses, re-development goals and physical improvements.
