Downtown Redevelopment

Downtown Eau Claire has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. The North Barstow Redevelopment District that began in 2002 resulted in Phoenix Park. A public space that has won many awards for creative design and community building. Today, Phoenix Park is synonymous with Thursday night Summer Concert Series, and the nearby Farmer's Market Pavilion that attracts thousands of people to try locally grown goodies.

Next to Phoenix Park a new mixed-use development neighborhood is starting to take place with 33 apartments it is a true example of urbanism. Attractive retail and restaurants will be on the ground level luring in downtown residents and visitors alike.

Across the Chippewa river another Redevelopment District is forming, the West Bank Redevelopment District. The Eau Claire Redevelopment Authority is hoping to convert an industrial section of the riverfront into a pedestrian friendly area with access to the river, new hotels and other businesses that would benefit from the proximity to downtown and Luther Midelfort Hospital.
