CATALYTIC PROJECT AREAS | FIVE AREAS OF DOWNTOWN HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED TO SERVE AS EXAMPLES OF HOW THE THEMES AND ACTIONS TRANSLATE INTO PHYSICAL FORM.
Gateway Center: On downtown’s southern edge, the opportunity exists to extend downtown several city blocks, facilitated by large parcels, consolidated ownership, and HALIFAX PARK city-owned property. Pe

Seaboard/Person Street: This project focuses on improving connectivity through renovations of Peace Street and streetscape improvements to Blount and Person streets with better bicycle and pedestrian access providing connections between urban neighborhoods like Oakwood and Glenwood South.
Moore Square: More than any other catalytic project area, this one focuses on large public investment in the park and transit center renovation, along with redevelopment of key, publicly owned parcels near the square to help revitalize this historic district.
Nash Square-Raleigh Union Station: A renovation of Nash Square, improved streetscaping and programming for the Hargett and Martin street corridors toward more pedestrian and retailoriented uses, and connecting Raleigh Union Station to the rest of downtown are all a part of this project area’s vision.
