DOWNTOWN WAXHAW

MASTER PLAN

Downtown Waxhaw is undergoing a transformative period of rapid growth, presenting a unique blend of exciting opportunities & pressing challenges.

To effectively navigate this dynamic landscape, the Town of Waxhaw and Downtown Waxhaw Association are embarking on an exciting project to craft a Downtown Master Plan.


This comprehensive plan will establish a clear, community-driven vision for downtown over the next 5-10 years, outlining strategic initiatives and prioritizing key projects. Developed through collaboration with downtown stakeholders, the plan will focus on:

  • Assessing downtown parking needs

  • Enhancing streetscape lighting

  • Improving walkability, safety, and connectivity

  • Strengthening and growing our local business community

  • Maximizing land use efficiency through infill opportunities

  • Adding features and activities to enhance quality of life

The collected data will be incorporated into a comprehensive 10-year implementation framework, considering all downtown partners and stakeholders.

Your input will help us create a downtown that we can all take pride in – one that balances economic growth with community values, preserves our unique heritage, and creates spaces for everyone to enjoy.

A Downtown Master Plan is more than just a document; it's a powerful tool designed to transform our collective vision into tangible reality.

This blueprint for success serves multiple functions, each designed to propel our community forward.

  1. It identifies specific challenges faced by our community and establishes clear, actionable priorities for addressing them effectively.

  2. The plan sets measurable goals that allow us to track our progress, ensuring we're consistently moving in the right direction.

  3. It provides detailed, nuanced policy guidance to elected officials and local decision-makers, guaranteeing that every action taken aligns with our long-term objectives.


A Downtown Master Plan goes beyond merely addressing community needs. It offers a detailed framework for achieving these goals, outlining specific steps, resources required, and potential obstacles to overcome.

This level of detail empowers our community to take concrete action and make informed decisions.
