Comprehensive Plan
As part of its ongoing partnership with the city of North Vernon, HWC has worked with community, business, and city leaders to develop the last two comprehensive plans. The plans focused on major infrastructure improvements, investments in quality of life amenities, and economic development capitalizing on the nearby Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC). Collectively, these planning efforts spearheaded the construction of the U.S. 50 Bypass, North Vernon’s designation as a Stellar Community, and served as a key component for the South Central Indiana Talent Region READI Plan.
