Arlington Comprehensive Plan Update Adopted 3-17-2015 | Page 93

Lamar-Collins Overlay Area - With
aging apartment complexes, low
income levels, and high crime
rates, this area has suffered from
disinvestment over the past few
decades. Planned projects, however,
including a 66 acre project featuring
market-rate apartments, structured
parking, and walking trails, could help
attract other investors to this area of
the city. Supporting major catalyst
projects will be critical to transforming
this area.

Airport Overlay - Owned by the City of
Arlington, the Municipal Airport is well
situated relative to the city’s primary
transportation links. The Airport
is considered to be a full service
general aviation reliever airport, and
the 300 acres of vacant developable
land surrounding it offers unique
opportunities for aviation-related
businesses.
