Special Committee on the Future of Downtown · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

The Special Committee on the Future of Downtown is reviewing plans for downtown parks, including Shipyards West and Met Park. Construction timelines are set, with Shipyards West expected to finish in 2028 and Met Park in 2027. The committee is also considering an overall Riverwalk plan that could involve a single contractor. Additionally, legislation is in progress for the management of JWJ Park and an expanded business improvement district boundary. These projects suggest future work in site preparation, grading, paving, utility installation, building construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the scope and phases of these planned developments, as opportunities may arise before final bids and permits are issued.
