BEVERLY SHORES A station area with unique opportunities for tourism-oriented development and connectivity associated with State and National Park lands and a mix of development types along major roadways. Introduction
Station Area | County Comparison
The Beverly Shores Station is included in the Double Track project and has the opportunity to increase development in the commercial district along US 12 in both the Town of Beverly Shores and the Town of Pines and to promote an increase in demand for services with the adjacency to the Indiana Dunes State Park. Beverly Shores is bounded by natural elements such as Indiana Dunes National and State Parks and Lake Michigan. The TDD boundary encompasses parcels in Beverly Shores and Pines and creates a unique opportunity for collaboration to preserve the character of the natural environment within the communities while promoting economic development and expanding the resources accessible for capital improvements. City Economic Goals • Allow small-scale mixed-use residential/business development in the commercial district and encourage development of small-scale businesses that contribute to the visual character of US 12 • Improve access along the commercial strip, helping to reduce traffic congestion and promote safety, and provide convenient access to goods and services • Plan for capital infrastructure improvements, particularly sewers, pedestrian walkways, bike paths, and parking strategies, to reduce the obstacles of development for potential businesses
