Buildings and Parcels Individual parcels/buildings can have a lasting impression on a person’s perception of an area, both positively and negatively. For instance, a building could be so well-designed, unique, or historically significant that it is the first thing someone thinks of when someone mentions Independence. Examples of a parcel/building that can leave a negative impression would be a poorly designed or empty public space, a dilapidated building, and a large vacant parcel. Independence has a wealth of historic buildings that bring character to the downtown and stories that are important to the City and community members to have remembrance of in the future. Tying the history into the future vision is essential. Many buildings are in good condition in the downtown area, but it is important to know where improvements could be made.
