January 2024 Project Update:
The City of Key West and its consultants at Stantec are kicking off the first in a series of public workshops regarding the Duval Street Revitalization and Resiliency project.
This first community open house will be on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, from 5–7 PM at the San Carlos Institute at 516 Duval Street.
The informal evening will allow the community to talk with the Stantec and City planning team to explore the project's scope and provide input regarding priorities and concerns. The downtown location of the open house provides easy access to nearby businesses and stakeholders to come and share ideas while learning about the project.
The City of Key West is committed to helping residents and businesses prepare for the changes brought on by climate change through resiliency and revitalization efforts. To that end, this Duval Street project is a top community and City priority. With community awareness and public engagement being critical components to the success of these efforts, the City of Key West has created a website -- Duval4All.com -- to increase the level of community involvement and keep the community informed at all stages of the official Duval Street Resiliency and Revitalization project.
Background:
From the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean, Duval Street is one of the most iconic and recognized streets in the United States. However, extensive renovations have not been performed on Duval Street for over 40 years. With CDBG-MIT funding provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the City is planning the Duval Street Economic Corridor Resiliency and Revitalization Plan. This Project aims to coordinate with the community to plan renovations to preserve and augment this historic corridor for leisure and commerce while improving its resilience, with special attention to risks from sea level rise and flood. A request for qualifications was released on March 11, 2022, and on November 1, 2022, the City Commission approved the proposal from Stantec, an international design and engineering firm. With the firm selected, the planning phase can now begin. The City looks forward to working with residents and business owners to develop and implement a vision for our iconic Duval Street.
