Overview/Executive Summary
____________________________________

The Martin Redevelopment Plan provides for a new, flood safe commercial, residential, public and institutional center on a cohesive site near the existing downtown. The redevelopment plan places commercial uses in an area with greater visibility and with many site characteristics required by today’s retail and office users, while providing the “town center” aesthetic desired by residents of this community.

The residential portion of the plan can accommodate approximately two-thirds of the necessary single-family home replacements lots expected. The commercial and residential areas of the site are buffered by a playground/greenway area that mitigates the approximately 20ft grade change. Primary access to the site comes from KY 1428 which, while elevated from its current height, substantially maintains its present alignment.
