Blending sophisticated market analysis with on-the-streets field work and planning is a cornerstone of the William-Lynn-James approach to revitalization. Our downtown retail district improvement and neighborhood commercial revitalization projects include both market studies and plans for public and private improvements. 

We identify the most promising strategies to support existing businesses, to encourage further revitalization, and to make the best use of available land and buildings. Our recommendations for revitalization stress practical solutions based on local resources and local leadership. This approach to revitalization can and does turn a plan into reality.

The foundation of a William-Lynn-James revitalization plan is an understanding of the changing nature of neighborhood population and demographic patterns, office location trends, competing retail centers, merchandise mix, market orientation, and transportation access. Surveys and discussions with shoppers, local leaders, and merchants are then conducted to provide additional insight into problems, needs, and opportunities.

The Firm's revitalization studies identify needs for:

• Changes in retail store mix, merchandising orientation, and marketing to attract a broader shopper base
  
  
• Consolidation of land use in commercial districts to build sufficient concentration of activity
  
  
• Transportation, sidewalk amenity, streetscape and building facade improvements to upgrade a community's image and livability
  
  
• Key development projects to "anchor" new revitalization and public-private strategies for reinvestment
