New Albany, IN
Housing Authority Master Plan
Faced with aging infrastructure and a location isolated from adjacent neighborhoods, HWC helped New Albany re-envision over 600 units of public housing. HWC’s design featured an inclusive and vibrant neighborhood plan that was walkable with an interconnected street grid to surrounding neighborhoods. The design also incorporated green infrastructure, generous community playgrounds, gardens, trails, and open space.

Whitestown, IN
Thoroughfare Plan
In recent years, Whitestown has been the fastest growing community in Indiana. Since its previous thoroughfare plan was developed prior to this rapid growth, HWC was retained to prepare a thoroughfare plan that would accommodate forecasted growth. The plan’s first priority established access management and land use plans for the 146th Street extension from Hamilton County and the Ronald Reagan Parkway extension from Hendricks County. The plan also took into consideration a number of other concurrent planning efforts both within Whitestown and in surrounding communities.

Dearborn County Strategic Action Plan R1.0
Transportation challenges and other obstacles limited Dearborn County’s growth despite its location in the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area. Building on its previous experience leading local and regional planning efforts, HWC was tasked with developing a strategic plan to help Dearborn County communities reach their full potential. The county-wide Strategic Action Plan established eight economic development priorities. This innovative planning process utilized individual community plans as the foundation for the Strategic Action Plan. This enabled HWC to quickly identify common concerns and propose strategies that capitalized on the communities’ shared opportunities.

Columbus, IN
Walesboro Airport Redevelopment Plan
The Board of Aviation Commissioners sought to self-develop this unique, 800-acre former airport south of Columbus for economic development. With the former runways being used as an improvised test track, HWC’s plan identified multiple development scenarios for improvement of the site. Specifically, the plan supported short-term development that protected the use of the improvised test track until a decision was made on the need for a long-term test track at the site.
