In September 2022, the City adopted Downtown Revitalization Plan and Placemaking Guidelines. The City is currently working on codifying those design guidelines into the City’s Downtown Specific Plan. The City selected Interwest, Inc. as the consultant to prepare the Downtown Specific Plan Amendment, which is anticipated to be complete toward the end of 2024.

On March 6th, City Staff presented a 6th Street Corridor Downtown Revitalization Plan Update sharing major initiatives to breathe new life into the heart of Corona, our Downtown. A PDF and recording of the presentation can be viewed under Project Updates.
