City Of Mission Viejo: Council Takes Bold, Visionary Step Toward Revitalizing City's Downtown Core

Press release from the City of Mission Viejo:

September 15, 2021

The City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed the Core Area Vision Plan –  a bold, visionary first step in addressing the economic fallout of the pandemic and revitalizing the City’s Downtown Core area to benefit this community for generations to come.

Working on this community’s behalf, the Council’s decision was based on the community’s robust feedback in the early stages of this project that helped shape the vision for a lifestyle destination connecting our civic and retail core to more restaurants, shops and cultural arts activities. 

To make this happen, Council Members on Tuesday approved the options for financing the purchase of the Stein Mart site off Marguerite Parkway –  the first tangible action toward implementing the community-driven vision for a walkable village, paseo, and incredible entry that connects to Oso Creek and Trail.
