Vision Statement

To revitalize the Downtown Area as the primary cultural, tourist, commercial and community core to serve all Florence's citizens and visitors, encouraging continuing growth, development and enhancement consistent with Florence's small-town ambiance and character.

The Florence Urban Renewal Plan consists of activities and actions which help prevent and correct the cause of blight and deterioration in the Florence Urban Renewal Area. Project activities are intended to implement the vision and guiding principals of the Florence Downtown Implementation Plan, while providing incentives to new public and private building investments and facilitating repair of inadequate infrastructure, pedestrian safety, streetscape, and public facilities.
