Livingston Downtown Master Plan

About The Plan

Kicked off in late summer 2023, the City of Livingston’s Downtown Master Plan is a community-driven process aimed at creating a guiding and cohesive vision for the future of Downtown Livingston. As a step toward implementing the City of Livingston’s 2021 Growth Policy, the Downtown Master Plan will provide the community with strategies to promote high-quality development, economic vitality, and enhanced activities in the downtown area — preserving the historic charm Livingston is known for while encouraging responsible growth.

A consultant team, led by Crescendo Planning + Design — joined by Economic & Planning Systems and Robert Peccia & Associates—has been selected to help lead the community engagement process and contribute their expertise in downtown planning to this effort. In addition to themes and areas of focus identified by the community throughout the process, components of the Downtown Master Plan will include:

​

• Identification of priority development / redevelopment projects in the planning area that include both “early win” and long-range opportunities; 
• A Housing & Parking Study specific to the Downtown study area;
• Wayfinding guidance to help visitors navigate downtown more easily; 
• A Streetscape Improvement Plan; 
• Recommendations for plan implementation, including key partners and stakeholders;
• And a summary of potential funding resources to create and sustain downtown revitalization and economic development identified in the Plan.
