District Brand CivicLocal Government Hub
• Office and fleet consolidation• Government Campus• New construction• High‐quality public building design • Gateway• Talent attraction
The Civic district will act as the local government“campus” unifying City, County, and Transit headquartersand operations among others. Large surface parking lotsprovide an opportunity for government office relocationthat would enable valuable property along Kansas Avenueand riverfront for catalytic developments. A consolidationof uses would enhance efficient collaboration andpartnering among different agencies while providingfeasible re‐use of marginalized parcels in the shadow ofCounty jail facilities.

District Brand River to RailIndustry and Re‐Use District
• Railroad roots• Large‐scale industry• Industrial services• Truck‐friendly circulation and highway access• Urban renewal era character• Train station• Few historic conversions
Influenced by major industrial footprints such as Hills Pet Nutrition, the former Hallmark building, and BNSF, the River to Rail district is well positioned on Downtown’s levee‐protected eastern edge to attract more intermediate manufacturing, warehousing, innovation, and heavy service industries between the riverfront and railyards. Sprinkled within this urban renewal‐era landscape are a few industrial heritage buildings with adaptive re‐use potential that creative entrepreneurs can take advantage of.
Replace with Hills Pet Food building
Move Stacks pic to Adaptive Re‐use Slide and replace with Hallmark building here
