This project will create a master plan for the 123 acre North Park area along with form-based land use regulations, building design guidelines, a streamlined permitting process and a Request for Proposals for the area’s redevelopment. Redevelopment of the North Park area will improve linkages between downtown Hartford, the North Hartford neighborhoods, and the Union Station transit hub and will lead to the development of this district as a vibrant mixed use community exemplifying the rich natural and cultural heritage of the City of Hartford and providing an effective bridge between downtown and neighborhoods to the north and west. The project’s objectives are to ensure that future development:

• Promotes equitable, affordable housing
• Helps improve access to employment centers and educational opportunities
• Contributes to a vibrant mixed use, mixed income community
• Encourages smart energy choices
• Utilizes new connections to transportation choices
• Constitutes an investment in a healthy, safe and walkable urban neighborhood
