Abstract

The report surveys Center Point's environmental qualities, such as economic, social and physical characteristics; analyzes possible neighborhoods; inventories existing community facilities; measures present deficiencies and future needs and recommends programs for community action to meet the present challenge. The Neighborhood Analysis is a difficult concept to understand without a basic definition of neighborhood. The understanding of the word "neighborhood" as used throughout this report, is an area having homogenous social, economic and physical characteristics. The Neighborhood Analysis is a supplement to the Comprehensive Plan. Similar to the Comprehensive Plan, the objective of the Neighborhood Analysis is to give the Town a workable program which would hopefully make the community a better place to live. This study is similar to the Comprehensive Plan in that it is concerned primarily with physical elements. The Comprehensive Plan is more concerned with physical land uses and location of facilities, while the Neighborhood Study involves building conditions. However, this study is secondarily developed around existing socio-economic phenomenon and how they affect the physical conditions.
