The intent of this Master Plan is to create dialogue with the Powell community around how the future of the Village Green / City Hall site can elevate downtown. The project team will collect public input, analyze current market trends, and review current infrastructure and traffic conditions throughout Downtown Powell. The scope of work allows the project team to collect extensive research and gain a better understanding of the district while gathering input from the community to inform and guide the master plan. This information will facilitate a vision for the area and how the City's objectives and goals for the site are addressed.

This project will be a catalyst for Downtown Powell and is anticipated to influence future developments throughout the district. The process will build on previous planning efforts to understand the district today and provide a thoughtful vision for the future of Village Green and downtown. 

In partnership with the City of Powell, Pizzuti Solutions has been hired by the City to manage this process, lead a team of industry experts, and provide strategic direction on the project. The project team includes Realm Collaborative, OHM Advisors, and Urban Decision Group. 

The Village Green property is outlined in blue on the map. The other downtown quadrants will also be analyzed as part of this process. 

There will be many opportunities for the public to get involved. Community engagement events will be held throughout 2025 as well as an online survey of Powell residents, businesses, and visitors. Both in-person and virtual opportunities will be available for you to share your thoughts and ideas for the future of downtown. Visit the City of Powell’s website to see upcoming engagement events and milestones for the effort. 

The Village Green Master Plan is organized into three phases of work that will take approximately three years to complete. City Council has approved the first phase which began in October 2024 and is anticipated to take 10-months to complete. Once phase one is complete, City Council will need to review and approve the second phase before additional work can begin. 

The master plan process will build upon previous downtown plans and incorporate key recommendations from ongoing efforts. The project team will review previous plans including: Keep Powell Moving, Plan Powell Comprehensive Plan, and the Downtown Revitalization Plan. Ongoing efforts such as the Parks Master Plan, Facilities Master Plan, and Shared-Use Master Plan will also inform the future of the Village Green site and downtown district.
