Every community needs to plan, but the issues and driving factors that face each community are unique. The Borough Planning Commission and liaisons from Borough Council are jointly serving as the steering committee For the Comprehensive Plan. One of the first activities was to ask each member in attendance their expectation of results for the Comprehensive Plan. Here are their answers.
1. Preserve, conserve and restore traditional neighborhoods impacted by the student community.
2. Create walkable communities in Indiana Borough.
3. Develop a higher level of cooperation and communication between the Borough, White Township and Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
4. Ascertain the common direction for the Community from the Citizens, Borough Staff and Borough Elected Officials.
5. Create an economically vibrant Downtown.
Establish harmonious relationships between our diverse communities.
6. Preserve, maintain and enhance our recreation resources.
7. Ensure Tax Base and public service sustainability for the community
We will explore each of these in later posts.
