The RVPM Project: Need a Refresher?
Here’s a quick reminder of what this project is all about.

The River Valley Planning Modernization project will:
renew our strategic planning for the River Valley (complete the Ribbon of Green Plan)
update the processes and tools we use to evaluate and regulate development proposed for the River Valley (renew/replace the River Valley Area Redevelopment Plan)
Updating the Ribbon of Green and the River Valley Area Redevelopment Plan together gives us the opportunity to make sure these two River Valley planning tools support one another.

Need a little more? Check out the project video or the Project FAQ.

That is a much larger scope than I expected.

Is anything being done with the amphitheater as part of this or is it just remaining unchanged? I love the amphitheatre and it's a neat place to see a show but have always wished it could be better. More/better seating, better sound system, and actual proper food/drink vendor stations. Essentially a scaled-back Budweiser Stage.

I believe they were replacing seating and updating the tech/elec/AV/lighting.
