The BVHP-PAC's Community Revitalization Concept Plan

The Revitalization Concept Plan is organized as a resource to serve community members beyond planning: to build consensus, address new revitalization programs, and guide proposed development according to the community vision. Each chapter in this work builds on the understanding provided by those before it. It is organized as follows:

Chapter 1. One Destiny: The Community Vision
This chapter examines the mission statement of the citizen-elected Project Area Committee, goals and strategies developed to guide revitalization, the community process that created them, and a review of the implementation steps to follow.

Chapter 2. People and Place
This chapter defines and describes the Bayview Hunters Point community through natural and cultural histories, a profile of community characteristics and emerging trends, and an understanding of economic market conditions.

Chapter 3. Building on Our Strengths
This chapter identifies the community's values, resources and traditions; defines zones of opportunity for implementing the vision and goals; and discusses how to preserve community character explored in the previous chapter. Here, the framework for sensitive creation of programs and projects is set.

Chapter 4. Area-Wide Community Programs
This chapter describes two types of area-wide programs developed during the community process. Part I addresses local economic development, social needs, and education initiatives. Part II focuses on physical development and environmental improvement. Each section reviews important facts about community needs, lists existing programs serving community goals, and provides community recommendations to guide revitalization planning, programs and implementation.

Chapter 5. Revitalizing Neighborhood Districts with Focus Area Plans
This chapter describes the planning process for neighborhood focus areas within Bayview Hunters Point. The community's area-wide recommendations for revitalization are applied in four visionary plans, looking twenty years into the future, with descriptions of potential projects.

Chapter 6. Reaching for the Future
This chapter explores how the community will work to strengthen its voice through coalition and consensus building. Steps for success and activities that will follow the publication of this Revitalization Concept Plan are outlined.
