Context Design was commissioned by the Town of Plainfield to study how reinvestment in Plainfield’s downtown core could spur economic development while retaining the historic fabric of the town over the coming decade.
The design team executed an 11-month process of inventory and analysis, schematic design, community engagement, design visioning, and infrastructure planning in concert with Town leadership.
The final booklet and deliverables established proper scale, materiality, character, and density for various phases of public and private reinvestment. The next steps include economic modeling and the establishment of zoning overlay standards.
