The City of Newport is in the process of developing a plan to facilitate redevelopment in Newport, focusing on the commercial corridors along Hastings Avenue and 7th Avenue. This plan is intended to identify opportunities and strategies to support new investments in the area. Redevelopment will occur in partnership with land and business owners that are interested in pursuing change on their properties or their business. It is the intent of the City to encourage comments from residents, land owners, and business owners throughout this process. The voice of the community is a key factor that will drive the future economic planning for the City. Two points of citizen engagement include a Community Survey and Social Pinpoint app.
