This is a proposal to provide Plano with a cultural center as well as a central focus . The building that will provide the solutions stated will be a civic center . As a central focus , the civic center will serve Plano's outstanding characteristic for residents as well as outsiders to admire and remember . Plano has enlarged from a population of under 20 ,000 in 1970 , to the recent estimate of almost 110 ,000 yet there is no major space for a group of Planoites to congregate . The proposed civic center will provide that missing social center for the residents . It will be versatile enough to accommodate small as well as large groups of people in indoor or outdoor environments under formal and informal conditions . Because Plano is comprised of people , not ornate buildings , the civic center will address its problems on a pedestrian scale so it will display the character of the people who live there . This proposed civic center is a solution that is long overdue to Plano's problem of a missing social center and central focus for the city . |
