Envision Thurston Road
Envision Thurston Road aims to improve Thurston by bringing in more businesses and encouraging people who live in the 19th Ward to shop there.
Envision Thurston Road is supported by the 19th Ward Collaborative, a group of nonprofits and community members working to improve the 19th Ward. The collaborative was formed through an agreement between the 19th Ward Community Association and ESL Federal Credit Union, bringing together key stakeholders and nonprofit organizations to address the challenges and opportunities facing the neighborhood. Its goals are to promote partnership, create financial wellness, increase homeownership, and improve the Thurston Road commercial corridor.
Envision Thurston Road is a three-year project focused on improving the Thurston Road commercial corridor. 2026 is centered on gathering information, building connections, and developing a strategy for improving the corridor. 2027 will be focused on testing ideas from that strategy, and 2028 will be about building the systems the neighborhood needs to continue the work into the future. The work is supported by project management from the PathStone Enterprise Center, consulting by CivicBrand and G. Kellogg & Co, and oversight by the Thurston Corridor Advisory Board.
