Recommendation

  • Improving the Look of Main Street Storefronts:
    • Main street programs
    • Leasing programs
    • Display community projects and announcements
    • Formation of Merchant’s Association
    • Create an initiative to create historic conservation district in the commercial and residential blocks around the business district
  • Developers of Lakes on the White Oak:
    • Talk to developers about a concession agreement to allow community members to access the water
    • Private rental businesses – kayak & canoe
    • Consider mixed-use zone, higher density to make a project economically feasible on the property
  • Dollar Store:
    • Add a pharamacy, a P.A., and LLC in the building
  • Train Station & Commercial Park:
    • Should serve as a welcome/commercial hub
    • Seek sources from Developer Associations about ideas for the property
  • Waste Treatment Plan
    • Get a lifecycle cost analysis done
    • Make sure lines going into the waste water treatment plant are large enough to support future development
    • EPA’s Harship Grants Program is a potential source of funding for these types products.
  • Look at the macro and micro levels where the town needs to be and wants to be
  • A conditional zoning district has the potential to solve  lot of problems in Maysville
  • Be careful about holding up growth and development based on what might happen with the DOT and Highway 17.
