Charlottesville has a riverfront! Though hidden, inaccessible and
\nunderutilized, it is a potential amenity with appeal to countless City and
\nCounty residents and visitors to the area. Nowhere is this fact more
\nsignificant than at the East High Street<\/a> and River Road corridors. Attempts at
\nreclaiming the riverbank for recreational uses in the form of trails, playing
\nfields, and both passive and active green spaces, pay obvious dividends in
\nenhancing the quality of life for residents. Environmental and economic
\nbenefits are likely to accrue as well. Incorporating Best Management Practices
\nfor controlling storm water runoff as part of a river front park will help both
\naspects. Less obvious, but tremendously important for the City’s continued
\neconomic health, is the role that such amenities play in attracting a highly
\nskilled talent pool to a region. Increasingly, employees in the New Economy
\nare considering the proximity of recreational amenities to job and home as
\nthey ponder multiple employment offers from companies in competing
\ngeographic markets. The degree to which Charlottesville can integrate new
\nemployment venues with such recreational (as well as urban) amenities, the
\neasier it will be for its companies to compete for talent. This will, in turn,
\nenhance the City’s ability to retain and expand its roster of New Economy
\ncorporations.–pg 154 High Street Corridor Study December 2000, Torti Gallas and Partners CHK<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
