As Woodinville continues to grow, two differing visions of the possible future of the community's downtown are under discussion.
According to an article in the Woodinville Weekly, one plan is the initiative of Bernie Talmas, the mayor, in concert with the city council, while the other comes from Jens Molbak, one of the city's major land owners.
The city would create two “visioning” committees, each of which will be considering everything about the direction for the downtown area, from allowable building heights to what building materials can be used, to how new construction should deal with parking and what the overall philosophy should be with regard to future development.
For Molbak's part, his group is considering a similar issue: how the redevelopment of his family's 17.5 acres would influence the city that surrounds it. Participants in this group, who were led by the Green Futures Lab of the University of Washington, explored how the site, the environment, social considerations, and the local economy would factor into the potential redevelopment of a downtown sustainable town center.
Mayor Talmas wants people who come to Woodinville, often to visit the city's many wineries, to have other alternatives and hopes to guide development toward more shops and restaurants. Jens Molbak likes the idea of mixed-use projects that include residential units.
Agencies like these can benefit from a flyer printing company’s ability to create material that explains differing viewpoints.
