Summary
The Banks is finally getting its big redesign—high-rises, plazas, and a park built over the sunken Fort Washington Way highway. A $25 million federal grant is in place, but they need a matching $25 million locally by 2027 or 2028 to start construction. City officials are banking on private investment to fuel this ambitious project, which aims to reconnect downtown with the riverfront and create a vibrant public hub. Meanwhile, new urban plans are moving forward for the remaining land, and debates continue over upgrading the aging Heritage Bank Arena to attract major events. This transformation hinges on a powerful public-private partnership—and the vision? A thriving, dynamic riverfront for generations.
