Description: Michael Gradis, AICP is the Planning Manager for Centennial, Colorado. He discusses the challenges of engaging the public in the Streets at SouthGlenn redevelopment project. Originally a shopping mall built in the 1970s, this center saw various changes over time, transforming into an outdoor lifestyle center in the late 2000s. Despite these efforts, the shopping center faced setbacks, including the closure of key tenants like Macy's and Sears. In response, the developer proposed introducing multifamily residential options while balancing retail spaces. The discussion highlights specific challenges in redeveloping aging shopping centers and lessons learned from engaging the public in the project.Contact Michael Gradis, AICP: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgradis More Informationhttps://www.centennialco.gov/Government/City-Projects-and-Initiatives/Streets-at-SouthGlenn
