AREAS OF FOCUS

Uptown Westerville Inc. has aligned under four distinct focus areas to promote and foster a dynamic central district for Westerville: 

Organization – Build partnerships among diverse groups of stakeholders including merchants, residents, public officials, educators, and civic organizations to recruit new members and volunteers in revitalizing, promoting and enhancing Uptown.

Design – Enhance the physical attributes of the district through image building, new construction, public improvements, historic preservation, and thoughtful design of storefronts, signage, landscaping, etc. in alignment with the existing Uptown Plan.

Promotion – Market the Uptown as a whole by strengthening the community’s positive image, communicate Uptown’s unique features as an inviting and exciting place for residents, Otterbein students and staff, visitors, and investors and plan special events and fundraisers.

Economic Enhancement – Create new opportunities through appropriate development, recruit new businesses to maintain a balanced retail mix, convert underutilized spaces into productive housing, offices or cultural facilities, and improve the competitiveness of the existing merchant mix.

Uptown Westerville Inc. is funded through a public/private partnership. To support the mission and join us in shaping the future of Uptown Westerville, click here.
