Town Of Paris Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan for Market Square in Paris, Maine, aims to stimulate economic growth and enhance the quality of life for residents and businesses. The plan focuses on three key areas: commercial growth (addressing barriers like roadway access and economic incentives), community growth (developing partnerships to attract families and provide services for all age groups), and area beautification (enhancing natural and man-made environments, including green spaces and waterways). Specific strategies include improving traffic flow in Market Square, revitalizing the area using the arts, enhancing streetscapes, improving parking, developing bike lanes, creating a signage project, developing the Little Androscoggin Riverfront, developing trails, repurposing the Mildred Fox School, establishing a senior center, acquiring property for future growth, and implementing architectural review and sign ordinance improvements. The plan anticipates a multi-year implementation process involving various partners and funding sources.
