The Town Center Business District brings together diverse land
uses in a unified development district serving the center of Grand
Island. By creating the Town Center Business District, the Town is
encouraging the development of a dense, compact, mixed-use district
to serve as the commercial destination and civic center for the Grand
Island community. While retaining an automobile-friendly aspect, the
zone also seeks to create a campus or village atmosphere hospitable
to pedestrian access and circulation. The Town Center Business District
is separated into the following subdistricts:
