Background

The Envision SoHo/NoHo report, prepared by the engagement facilitator Jonathan Martin at BFJ Planning in consultation with stakeholders and Process Sponsors, includes background information on SoHo/NoHo’s history and existing conditions, articulates the opportunities and challenges SoHo and NoHo face as mixed-use communities, and documents recommendations and ideas put forward by stakeholders during the engagement process.

The report’s recommendations grew out of input and feedback gathered between January and June 2019 at a series of engagement events, including six public meetings and workshops, six focus group discussions, 18 Advisory Group work sessions, as well as online. It also incorporates comments received at the public meeting held on June 13, 2019, where preliminary findings of the engagement process were first shared.
