In Building a Vibrant Community, Quint Studer addresses all three aspects, but mainly focuses on the last one. How can your community get from where it is now to where it wants to be? When Pensacola, FL, started its revitalization process, it was struggling economically. Today there is more downtown construction taking place than at any time in modern history. And downtown is well on its way to vibrancy. Property values are soaring. Small businesses are strong and growing. There s a deeper focus on education. In fact, in 2013, Palafox Street was named one of the Ten Great Streets in America by the American Planning Association. Also, downtown Pensacola was named the 2017 Great Places of Florida People's Choice Winner, following a poll administered by the American Planning Association of Florida.
