HideDowntown Largo Placemaking, Branding, and Wayfinding Strategy
Downtown Largo is a vibrant and diverse area poised to become a regional downtown with unique destinations, and a range of transportation modes available to residents and visitors. This Placemaking, Branding, and Wayfinding Strategy seeks to capture the momentum of the transitioning nature of Largo Town Center into a walkable urban core. There are many existing
and planned residential, commercial, and industrial branding efforts within and adjacent to the study area, and this strategy can help tie these disparate identities together.
The strategy makes recommendations for locations in Downtown Largo to be activated through various means of placemaking. Further, through community engagement, the strategy proposes a ‘brand’ for Largo and explores wayfinding options to improve walkability and increase a sense of place in Downtown Largo.
