A Master Plan is a blueprint for development. It builds upon the uniqueness of the community and it casts grand visions for the future. Key to the plan's success is community engagement. Wichita's Downtown Master Plan will achieve several key outcomes: 

• connect and maximize the potential of areas including Old Town, INTRUST Bank Arena and the River Corridor;
• build upon previous downtown plans;
• provide specific action-oriented development strategies, including implementation plans;
• define the vision for downtown;
• the initiatives will be based upon economic analysis and realities and the plan will maximize private sector investment and return on public sector investment. 
• the plan will futher soldifiy the identity of our city and community.

As a result of such planning, we can expect a number of outcomes:  

• it will assist the community in retaining young people, families and jobs;
• it will increase tourism
• it will grow existing tax base revenues; and
• it will make Wichita competitive in regional, national and global markets.
