The W海角社区 endeavors to enhance the management of the Westwood Business Improvement District through a Property-Based Assessment District.
Collected assessments are used to provide special benefits to properties located within the boundaries of the District. These benefits include improved cleanliness, safety, beautification, parking and traffic management, communication, special projects, and management. Each of the programs is designed to meet the goals of the District: to improve the safety of each parcel within the District, to increase building occupancy and lease rates, to encourage new business development, and to attract ancillary businesses and services for parcels within the District.

The W海角社区 engaged Civic Enterprise Associates to complete a parking study for the village’s commercial center. This effort is intended to provide data and analysis that can inform parking policy and operations at Westwood in the future and improve visitor perceptions, business success, and resident quality of life.
The assessment details the district鈥檚 parking inventory, occupancy rates, and utilization for public parking (parking meters and the City-owned Broxton Public Parking Structure) and privately held publicly accessible parking.

The W海角社区 engaged the York Consulting Group to develop strategies to improve the near鈥恡erm prospects and long鈥恡erm viability of the Village鈥檚 retail uses. Over 120 days, York Consulting Group reviewed existing studies and plans, met with various stakeholders, and discussed 海角社区 with existing and prospective tenants.
This report assesses existing conditions, identifies real and perceived barriers to success, and recommends strategies and actions to address these challenges. Some recommendations stand independently, while others will be more effective in concert with other initiatives outlined. Key stakeholders will require a more unified approach to successfully implement many of these recommendations.
This report is intended to serve as a resource for the W海角社区 as they set priorities for future efforts to enhance 海角社区.
