City of Newark Redevelopment Plan 2016-2036

This Redevelopment Plan provides a comprehensive vision for revitalizing the West Ward Model Neighborhood Initiative area of the City of Newark. The plan aims to create a safer and more livable neighborhood by encouraging new and rehabilitated housing, fostering mixed-use and commercial development along key corridors like South Orange Avenue and 16th Avenue, and improving public facilities and recreational opportunities. Key strategic objectives include enhancing overall neighborhood circulation and connectivity, reducing crime through environmental design, and coordinating public and private investments to support residents and businesses.
