Master Plan
Goals
The Master Plan establishes a vision for the
CORTEX District as a mixed-use knowledge
community that will seek to:
1. Attract and retain top research and
ent_repreneurial talent.
2. Connect to surrounding amenities and
neighborhoods.
3. Create a cohesive community through
a structure of open space and complete
streets.
4. Revitalize existing industrial buildings.
5. Strengthen connections to Forest Park
through a greenway along Clayton
Street.
6. Establish a public realm activated
by ground-floor uses, such as retail,
meeting spaces, public amenities and
street science.
