Before Revitalization

The revitalization of the Five Points commercial corridor and surrounding residential area has been an important goal of Swiss Bear and the Uptown Business and Profession Association. The 1990 and 2000 Urban Design Plan strategies call for improved public facilities, housing rehabilitation and business development of the commercial corridor. Strategies included the creation of a low-interest loan pool, a Swiss Bear Five Points Advisory Committee, and the submission of a proposal to acquire major funding for the development of a Workforce Training & Incubator Center.

Swiss Bear supports the Uptown Business and Professional Association actively working to attract investment to the Five Points' commerical area and develop tours and programs that promote Five Points and its historic assets.

After Revitalization (Projected)

Swiss Bear serves on the Five Points Revitalization Committee composed of representative from various agencies in the City. The goals of the Committee are to: develop a housing and economic development plan, have the City Planning Department evaluate the compatibility of zoning and overlay regulations with the 2000 Urban Design Plan guidelines and encourage investment in the commercial corridor.
