CORE is working with the City of Mobile to study and guide the redevelopment of the downtown historic area as the city seeks to attract economic investment at a national scale. Based in part on CORE’s experience and success with historic Savannah, GA over the past several years, the work for Mobile concentrates initially on developing a strategy and marketing plan to help attract investment and development monies to the City. CORE is also helping with the marketing and sale of the current Civic Center property, seen as a cornerstone event for spurring renewal while getting a money–losing property off the municipal books.
