What to expect
Short-term goals (Est. completion: 2026-2029) Adopt rainwater harvesting at municipal facilities Prioritize revitalization of existing commercial properties and vacant lots Develop more engagement programs for senior residents Mid-term goals (Est. completion: 2030-2032) Conduct design studies for housing options that align with community vision Develop comprehensive sidewalk improvement plan Create a Safe Routes to School program Long-term goals (Est. completion: 2033-2035) Establish a stormwater utility program to dedicate revenue to maintenance Promote street-fronting commercial retail Improve water and sewer system capacity
Strategies were categorized by priority level, projected cost and timeframe for completion, allowing the city to track its progress over the next decade. Norton said Antero Group also included potential grant sources to assist with funding for several of the proposed projects. “With the city’s leadership, both the city sta£ and elected o§cials, they are very proactive and I believe all of these strategies are achievable,” Norton said. Bleess said he hopes to have achieved a majority of the short and mid-term recommendations by 2030, when the city will likely update the comprehensive plan for the next ©ve years. “A year from now, you’ll see some progress on our short-term goals, and we’ll have a better time frame for our longer-term goals when we get to next year’s budget,” Bleess said.
“We want things to be rooted in reality and achievable because there’s never anything worse than setting up a city for failure.” SEAN NORTON, ANTERO GROUP PROJECT MANAGER
“We like to think of ourselves as special because of our smaller roots.” DREW WASSON, JERSEY VILLAGE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
