Downtown Richfield Brand Identity & Style Guidelines and Placemaking Playbook
The EDA considered approval of a new Downtown Richfield brand identity, style guidelines, and a Placemaking Playbook developed by consultant CivicBrand, funded by a $45,000 Hennepin County Business District Initiative grant plus a $5,000 EDA match. The plan, informed by feedback from about 1,160 people, creates a logo, color palette, and typography for the district and outlines ten placemaking opportunities such as a Richfield Lake Gateway, a 66th Street bicycle spine, and activation of The Hub, intended to make downtown (Lyndale Avenue/66th Street/Nicollet Avenue area) more walkable and inviting without displacing existing small businesses.
