This report was written at the request of the Planning Commission of Phelps. The purpose of the report is to identify action strategies that can be implemented by the Town Board, Planning commission and other committees in Phelps as an aid to the revitalization of their downtown and the community. It focuses on an asset-based approach by capitalizing on the natural resources of Phelps and by recognizing the talents to the local people. The report should not be construed as a downtown master plan with architectural and design guidelines.
