In 2011, the City of Richfield contracted with the planning firm Damon Farber Associates to develop a revitalization plan for the 66th Street Corridor. Please click the following link to view the plan 66th Street Corridor Revitalization Plan [PDF].

The planning process involved considerable input from the property owners, businesses, residents, and other stakeholders through a variety of public meetings and opportunities to provide input and make comments.

The first of these opportunities was a Walking Tour of the corridor held on Thursday, August 12, 2010. Representatives from the business community, property owners, and residents attended the tour and provided valuable comments regarding the strengths and challenges of the corridor, as well as wants and desires for the future of the corridor.
