6 <br /> Evaluate opportunities and potential displacements: We’ll identify the chances for growth and development while <br />also addressing the critical issue of potential displacement of existing residents and businesses <br /> Review implementation feasibility and challenges for bringing these concepts into reality. <br />By exploring these elements, we will equip stakeholders with actionable insights, empowering decision-makers with <br />independent and clear analysis. <br />Timeline: August 2024 – October 2024 <br /> <br />Deliverable 4: Recommendations <br />Task 4.1: Produce a Recommendation Report <br />This phase will be dedicated to simplifying concepts into key goals, strategies, and actions that can fit within the Economic <br />Development Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. These will emphasize areas where the city can play a coordinating, <br />catalyzing role, given its limited budget and staff. The goal will be to provide city staff with clarity on where to focus as <br />development in certain areas may occur. <br />Our recommendation report will explore various areas of focus for the WHEB Triangle: <br /> Airport-Serving Commercial Uses: ECO will review strategies to bolster airport-serving commercial activities, <br />emphasizing the industrial and manufacturing sectors on the Airport Road leg. <br /> SW Everett Manufacturing Industrial Center (MIC): ECO will explore potential commercial uses not directly tied to <br />servicing the airport. This will include industries like manufacturing, flex industrial, heavy industry, and others. <br /> Strategies to best position urban corridor redevelopment (i.e. Evergreen Way and Everett Mall Way) <br /> Deeper consideration of Casino Road (From Airport Way to the Interurban) and its economic role in the future, <br /> City-Led Redevelopment: Our focus will be on prioritizing redevelopment strategies for non-city-owned assets, <br />ensuring they align with the broader community vision. <br /> Park Reconfiguration: Based on RCO rules and best practices, we’ll provide insights on potential park <br />reconfigurations to maximize community priorities. <br /> Transit-Oriented Network: We’ll identify stated needs for a transit-oriented community, ensuring connectivity and <br />accessibility. <br /> Task 4.2: Share Recommendations & Assessment Report <br />Our team will compile the findings into a comprehensive PDF for easy distribution and reference. Either as a presentation or <br />a concise executive summary, the findings will be packaged in an accessible format for easy distribution and review. To <br />foster community engagement and transparency, we’ll host an in-person open house, allowing residents and stakeholders <br />to review and discuss the report. Additionally, the findings will be presented at a City Council meeting, ensuring that City <br />officials are fully informed and can integrate the recommendations into future planning. This multi-pronged approach <br />ensures clarity, collaboration, and actionable outcomes. <br />
