Committee members work toward consensus on a plan that will not only promote a vibrant mixed-use development on the East Campus but be a springboard for revitalization of the Route 1 corridor. Goals:   Promote an exchange of ideas among University officials, the developer and architects, and community representatives about market dynamics, community aspirations and concerns, best planning practices, and quality of life issues affecting the East Campus development. Agree on a plan that builds upon and enhances the University’s presence, the character of College Park and transportation assets to create a lively, high-quality East Campus town center mix of retail, residential, office, hotel and parking uses and to foster similar development on adjacent sections of Route 1. Create a community of interests among the University, developer and citizens.
