New Bern Urban Design Plan undergirds work of the Five Points Revitalization Advisory Board

In September 2004, the City of New Bern facilitated a community workshop in which area stakeholders produced a Strategic Plan (right click for new window) for the revitalization of Five Points, based on concepts and goals identified in the City’s Urban Design Plan (UDP) 2000 (right click for new window). The New Bern Board of Aldermen adopted this Strategic Plan in November 2004. The 2004 Plan identifies top goals as making streetscape improvements for Broad Street, as well as residential and commercial enhancements to the Five Points Community.
