The goal of the Riverfront Legacy Master Plan process is to create an aspirational vision and master plan for the east bank of the Arkansas River, with a focus on an area south of Douglas Avenue to US-54/Kellogg and east to Main Street. The plan will consider all elements, including a performing arts center, convention center, Century II, the former library, connections to the west bank developments and a distinctive riverfront gathering space.
