Corridor Development Initiative

Shaping the way communities approach development opportunities

CDI community process

The Corridor Development Initiative (CDI) is designed to help communities plan their best possible futures. The initiative provides a proactive process that helps cities, neighborhoods, and developers guide the development of "opportunity sites". The facilitated process raises the level of dialogue around development options and connects market realities with neighborhood and city goals.

This learning process benefits city planners, residents, and developers. Using CDI means that development efforts move more efficiently through the public review system, and community members have the chance to make sure proposed projects meet their community vision. It also means that developers reduce the amount of time between proposals and ground-breakings.
