Town Center

The aerial image at the top of this page is looking at the Heart of Edgewood. Review the vision for Edgewood’s Town Center and follow along with the subarea planning efforts here. As you can see in this photo, many parcels are undeveloped or underdeveloped compared to the Town Center vision. If you’re looking for the right opportunity to invest in Edgewood, Town Center may be the place where the slogan “We have dirt” could turn our availability of land into your next project.
