This is a very exciting project.

There is a rendering of the potentially redeveloped Imperial site on page 15 of the .pdf.

Cherokee has made a great pitch to the communty and is pushing ahead fast.

As far as the Imperial Site, they plan to preserve some of the structures (probably 4 structures but i am unsure of exactly which ones), create a mixed use core of residential, office, and retail, and integreate the community with the site through trails and new corridors. They also plan to create an urban feel around the Imperial site and Oysted Creek with townhomes and at least one midrise development. Preservation of the site again is a high priority.

One problem facing the redevelopment plan is the railroad ROW that runs through the site. Some thought that it was purchased with the rest of the Imperial land, but Union Pacific is now saying that they own and always have owned the right of way.

As of 2005:

Things may have changed and there may be additions to this list.
