Overview

The Downtown Visualization Project represents work undertaken by Framingham Downtown Renaissance (FDR) between October 2006 and February 2007 to develop a set of pictures, maps, and text that together document all of the various needs, opportunities, projects and gaps in infrastructure and development in Downtown Framingham. The Downtown Visualization Project is a compilation of ideas and concepts designed to guide future redevelopment of Downtown Framingham, and represents a thoughtful dialogue about downtown Framingham’s strengths and its opportunities for future improvement.
