Phasing Approach: From the outside, inImplementation
• Connect at the edges and build from the
edges inward
• Grow excitement in the park experience to
develop relevant and supportive partners
over time
• Pace capital construction to align with
fundraising and park administration capacity
• Pair building rehabilitation with landscape
restoration to connect the indoor and
outdoor experience
• Plan for building and cultural anchors to
occur in later phases when the opportunity
of being located within Dix Park is more
widely understood
