WEDA Place Making

WEDA Place Making Goals

1) Develop a name for the Westside District that is consistently used, has brand recognition, and helps create a sense of identity.

2) Create a strong sense of place that helps to bring unity and identity to an area that contains a variety of structures and businesses and attracts new business and employees.

3) Develop concepts and locations for gateway, signage, and branding elements as a way to clearly identify boundaries and differentiate the Westside Development District.

4) Involve stakeholders in the process to create a sense of ownership and excitement with the Place Making Plan.

5) Understand the future impact of the interstate and develop a strong artery plan that creates connections, rather than barriers, within the District and connects the District to other key areas in Bloomington.

6) Make the most of TIF funds through strategic initiatives that encourage economic growth and development.
