A Vision for the City Center

Beloit, Wisconsin

City Center will become the heart of the Rock River Valley.  It is envisioned to be the cultural, social, educational, economic and civic center for the 100,000 people living within a 10-mile radius of the Beloit Visitor Center.  The 700 acre area is the historic core of Beloit and South Beloit containing most of these cities’ vital institutions.

In 2004, Beloit 2020 initiated a planning process to develop a vision for what City Center could become in 2020.  Public participation has been significant throughout the process.  Focus group and community meetings in Spring 2005 were highlights of this informed dialogue about City Center’s future, culminating with unanimous votes in support of the 2020 Vision by the City Councils of Beloit and South Beloit.
