Mr. Hoover updated the Committee on a proposal from Olsson Associates conduct a
small area plan for Downtown Prosper. This initiative is in response to the Committee's
desire to update and continue the efforts outlined in the Downtown Master Plan. The
goal of the Small Area Plan would be to assess the current conditions of Downtown,
conduct a visioning exercise, or charrette, to determine a preferred vision and desired
outcomes for Downtown, and establish an action plan of short and long-term objectives
to achieve that vision. The Committee concurred with the recommendation to move
forward with the proposal. Town staff will work to identify funding for the project.
