Vision
Downtown Waynesville is the primary civic, retail, commercial, cultural and entertainment center of the community. It provides a “Sense of Place” and a “Sense of Community” through a shared memory of our past and commitment to the future with emphasis on quality planning and design, a balanced economic sector, mixed use development, residential opportunities and the creation of a vibrant entertainment and cultural arts community. Building design, second floor residential housing, high density in-fill development, parking and transportation improvements are designed for the comfort and enjoyment of the pedestrian and preservation of historic and civic space.
