Monday night meeting to discuss Crescent District Master Plan

From Town of Leesburg reports:

A meeting to highlight the latest revisions to the Crescent District Master Plan will be held at Leesburg Town Hall on Monday, September 30 at 6:30 p.m.

Residents and business owners will have an opportunity to provide feedback regarding the updated plan, which includes the areas of Catoctin Circle, from South King Street to East Market Street, and East Market Street, from Plaza Street to the intersection with Loudoun Street.

The Crescent District includes the areas of Catoctin Circle, from South King Street to East Market Street, and East Market Street, from the Leesburg Bypass to the intersection with Loudoun Street. The 2006 Crescent District Master Plan guides redevelopment of this area.

The general intent of this plan was to promote redevelopment of land in the Crescent District that was seen as being underutilized. The redevelopment envisioned was intended to extend the character of the downtown area and provide a transition to the more suburban parts of Leesburg. It was also intended to incorporate greater density into a collection of uses that were coupled with high quality pedestrian spaces and new gathering spaces.

Last fall, the Leesburg Town Council initiated an update of the Crescent District Master Plan to reevaluate land uses, building heights, architecture, opportunity sites, and housing goals. The Council also directed staff to analyze why not has much changed in the Crescent District since the area plan’s adoption over 15 years ago.
