“It’s going to be a long slog, that will last into 2023 and longer for big cities.”
– Mark Zandi, Chief Economist, Moody Analytics.
It’s not just a health crisis — the economic and social shock of the COVID-19 pandemic will affect cities and the built environment for years to come. The time for communities to start taking action is now. WGI can help.
Through the use of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding, WGI has already helped municipalities across the country implement programs to make their cities more healthy and lively.
For example, we helped the City of Norfolk, Virginia launch OpenNorfolk – a boots-on-the-ground community assistance program that continues to assist local businesses while focusing on neighborhoods and communities. It included framework for outdoor programming, safe places for families and kids, and community activation. Click here to read more about OpenNorfolk.
We also recently worked with the City of Farmers Branch, Texas on the OpenFB program to help local restaurants set up outdoor dining “parklets” to increase their capacity and safely welcome more guests.
It is not just cities that are planning for recovery. States are launching large-scale planning efforts to revitalize downtowns and respond to the effects of COVID-19 on local businesses.
In Massachusetts, for example, the Mass Downtown Initiative (MDI) launched the Local Rapid Recovery Planning (LRRP) Program. The program matches cities and towns with consultant teams with expertise in effective strategies to stabilize business districts. Click here to learn more about that program.
