Abstract
Parkersburg, West Virginia is a city of 29,000 on the Ohio River. Parkersburg is a post-industrial city which has seen population and job loss consistently dating back to 1960. This thesis aspires to highlight Parkersburg’s history, its current status, and revitalization efforts. Much of the results and discussion of this thesis is focused on infill development and its potential and implementation as a redevelopment tool. This thesis aims to expand on urban planning literature by focusing on a small-sized Appalachian city, in addition to expanding upon urban planning literature regarding revitalization. Recent revitalization efforts made by the city are evaluated, highlighted, and discussed throughout this document.
