City Of Florence Wants More Downtown Housing Units

The City of Florence wants to bring an additional 1,000 housing units downtown by 2030.

That’s according to the city’s newly adopted Downtown Master Plan, which was unanimously approved by Florence City Council members on June 12. It looks to expand upon the success of the city’s downtown revitalization projects by focusing on more than just the historic blocks.

“While there are still initiatives and goals that we’re going to have within there to fully utilize that area, we’re starting to reach capacity as far as availability, so it’s important that we show and demonstrate how we can redevelop those areas immediately outside of the historic district,” said Assistant City Manager Clint Moore.
