Meriden Green and Commercial Center

Development of the Meriden Green and Commercial Center will create an environment that maximizes the opportunity for new business, and which attracts a growing, diverse group of people to enjoy many of life's activities in a safe, well-planned, and attractive setting.

When this core environment is successful, this vitality and success will naturally grow to adjacent neighborhoods, and contribute to a higher quality of life throughout the City through:

	Creation of new public space to accommodate community events, including the new Meriden Green.
	Establishment of a realigned, flood-proof Harbor Brook, as well as new sidewalks and pedestrian connections, streets, landscaping and a parking structure.
	Improved transportation links between the City Center and regional access points, Downtown and the Westfield Shoppingtown Meriden area.
	Less confusing downtown traffic patterns and opportunity for growth of alternative transportation modes.
	Revitalization of an obsolete, under-utilized commercial area with a new, vibrant neighborhood for living, working, shopping, and gathering.
	Estimated $2 million net increase in annual tax revenue, up from the $289,000 generated by existing properties.

“A sense of place,” created by identifiable and welcoming gateways into the City Center, expanded City Center pedestrian district with new streetscape and many unique public spaces, and additional livable and desirable residential uses adjacent to and in the downtown.
