To reduce congestion and pollution, New Rochelle’s novel “Complete Streets” initiative weaves together the growing presence of pedestrians, bicyclists and public transportation.
In 2015 New Rochelle launched the most ambitious plan for growth in the history of the Hudson Valley. Accelerated by a new, fast-track zoning process, the new Master Development initiative will enhance the downtown area by boosting job creation, property values and private investment – while enhancing sustainability through green and energy-efficient design.
Nationally recognized planning and design experts helped map out New Rochelle’s unparalleled plan for growth. The city will soon benefit from a surge in new retail, commercial, office and hotel space – combined with economically diverse, high-quality housing. A phased implementation will ensure sustainable, high-quality growth for years to come. Amid the growth, the city’s “Complete Streets” initiative allow for the comfortable interweaving of pedestrians, bicyclists and public transportation.
Standing a generation ahead of New York City, New Rochelle is already a wired city in the adoption of new business-friendly technologies. With rapidly advancing technology and a burgeoning arts district, the city is primed to emerge as a central hub for the innovation and gig economies. A promising new partnership with NYC tech initiatives is advancing the creation of labs that nurture the expansion of virtual reality and artificial intelligence. And an economic development strategy is attracting innovators and entrepreneurs in such fields as information services and technology, and healthcare technology.
Enriching the community starts with listening to local residents. New Rochelle’s downtown development initiative attracted crowdsourced “place-making” ideas from more than a thousand voices – and the final plan incorporated more than a hundred of these ideas.
