The Core City Plan, a major initiative of the High Point City Council, was undertaken to guide development, redevelopment and revitilization of High Point's core area to improve the physical, economic and social facts of the area. The 11-square-mile urban core includes downtown, surrounding neighborhoods, several institutions, commercial corridors and industrial areas. A central theme of the plan is to define the various distinct places that make up the core city area to bring identity to them, reinforce their purposes and ensure their long-term stability.
Through its efforts to promote the growth and revitilization of High Poin't urban core, The City Project has worked to organize this initiative into nine distinctive regions throughout the city. The strategic targeting of particular neighborhoods allows for common interests groups to work together to decide on the most appropriate measures for development within each of their localities.
