Park and Recreation Master Plan
HWC worked closely with the city, parks department, and a local steering committee to complete a Parks Master Plan for Charlestown. After reviewing input from over thirty stakeholder interviews and a public survey with excellent participation, recommendations were prioritized into four categories—connectivity, programming, projects, and policy. Adding one major facility to the parks system every five years was a principal goal of the plan, which the city is actively working to implement.

Franklin, IN
King Street Corridor
HWC provided design and construction services for this project in phases. The King Street corridor, previously SR 44 in Franklin, Indiana, is the primary gateway from I-65 into the City.
Improvements along the corridor function as a gradual gateway into Franklin with an emphasis on enhanced roadway elements, such as curbed and planted medians, reduced lane widths, and other traffic-calming features. Portions of the project utilized INDOT federal aid funds.
Pedestrian improvements were added along the north and south sides of King Street to improve connectivity to the surrounding neighborhoods, schools, and the Franklin Historic Trails system.
