    Anticipating a comeback, the City of Gary; GECH Empowerment Zone; and the Department of Minority Studies, Historic Midtown Project requested assistance to develop a community vision that would strike a balance between encouraging development while protecting the sense of place. The technical assistance team, assembled by the Planning and the Black Community Division of American Planning Association, provided the fore mentioned groups with options to address arterial enhancements along a one-mile span of the Broadway corridor. The assistance educated participants about sustainable practices, presented development scenarios for the corridor, and shared techniques for equitable development that can be applied to ensure Gary's citizens have access to safe and healthy environments in which to live, work, and play. The Vision for Broadway technical assistance report has received citations from the American Planning Association and the National Organization of Minority Architects.
