Will there be any sort of concerted effort to keep the plaza active? It's got such a great location; would be a shame for it to just sit there unused.

It remains to be seen, but I don't think they'll have a problem. As it is now, there is a severe shortage of outdoor public space in downtown. Reno has lots of special events that take place downtown and it's not uncommon to find Virginia Street closed off during the weekend during much of the Summer on the weekend. The plaza could be utilized at any of the following events that take place downtown: Hot August Nights, Street Vibrations, The Great Italian Festival, Blues & Brews Festival, Artown, Gay Pride, etc.
At other times of the year I would love to see the plaza become a gathering spot for musicians/artists and cart vendors (hot dogs/falafel/ice cream/funnel cake, etc.). It would also be a great site to house a Farmers Market like the one in Sparks, NV.
