In order to achieve the objectives outlined throughout this document, this plan proposes three actions from the neighborhood, the City and C.O.R.E.:

Commit to Development Areas - The physical plan options and recommended course included in this document provide a road map for how neighborhood leaders and the City could direct redevelopment activities within the Center City Neighborhood. These options allow for flexibility and adaptation as more detailed planning occurs; however, the repositioning of the neighborhood will result only if the community embraces these development concepts and agrees to champion them through to implementation. In order for the new residential component to be developed most successfully, a selective rezoning should occur to identify more appropriate land use classifications. In most cases, this will result in a down-zoning from industrial to residential uses. After this plan has been adopted by stakeholders and the Wichita City Council, the next step should be for the City to change zoning as necessary further indicating the City's commitment to this project.

Organize to Maximize Results - Organizing to achieve the objectives of this plan has already begun through the formation and leadership of C.O.R.E. There are several other players who must assist with this effort; however, a formal group or structure specifically charged with the physical development aspects of this plan should be identified. As evidenced in the Implementation Roles and Players table on page 50, C.O.R.E., Via Christi and not-for-profits have identical roles in this process. For efficiency sake, those three elements should be combined under one umbrella group. This group, a Development Corporation, should be led by the institutional leadership in the neighborhood - the churches and the hospital. This group can be a powerful partner in conjunction with the City to implement projects. This non-profit Development Corporation and the City will be critical players in pre-development tasks outlined below.
