About the Riverfront Legacy Master Plan

The Riverfront Legacy Master Plan process was launched by a coalition of community organizations in response to the recent recommendations from the Project Wichita regional visioning process and the Century II Citizens Advisory Committee. These private-sector organizations will work closely with public partners, other community organizations and area neighborhoods.

The goal of the master planning process is to take the next step to create a comprehensive vision and master plan of development that connects projects and both banks of the Arkansas River. This plan will be driven by community input and engagement, all while taking into account previous plans, studies and new development. The plan will build on previous studies for the east side of the Arkansas River as well as new developments such as the ballpark on the west side.

The master planning process will use information generated by previous studies that analyzed different elements as a starting point and then add information related to new projects including developments on the west side of the river.

New community engagements will include gathering perspectives on vision and connection of elements, on top of previous community engagement findings, including from Project Wichita and the Century II Citizens Advisory Committee analysis of a performing arts center.
