Master Plan Concepts
No land
use changes proposed for Inner Fort
Preservation of views and green space in new Waterfront Park
Adaptive reuse of buildings in the Historic Village
7-mile educational and exercise trail
Improved vehicular patterns & pedestrian circulationSlide4
Fort Monroe is a long-term project; the Master Plan has to be
flexible
Large users like STEAM Academy bring name recognition and reduce expenses
Economic realities
suggest demand for office and commercial space is weak
Market conditions & physical location indicate Fort Monroe future should focus primarily towards residential use
Focus on
phasing
and implementation within the community (existing structures are highest priority)
Army transfer delays will continue to affect implementation of the Master Plan
Economic Realities of the Master Plan Tell Us…Slide5
