Dickinson is a nearly built-out enclave community nestled amongst several much larger and actively developing communities. It prides itself on being a quiet working-class bedroom community. What commercial development exists in principally along IH 45 with a few smaller businesses sprinkled along SH 3 and FM 517.
In recent years, the community has been ravaged by major storm events cause severe flooding across large portions of the community. This, in turn, led to vacancies and disinvestment in flood prone areas. In particular, at the crossroads of SH 3 and FM 517 is an area that has acted as the city center. It too, experienced a loss of tenants leading to urban blight.
New leadership placed a higher priority on advanced planning and proactive economic development. Seeing the area not as a problem but as an opportunity, Kendig Keast Collaborative (our parent company) was hired to prepare a redevelopment plan. To gain the support of city leaders, business and land owners in the project area and nearby residents, ArcGIS Urban was used to build alternative scenarios to gauge reactions to different types and scales of development.
