Muncie Action Plan Seeks Public Opinion - That Means YOU!!

The Muncie Action Plan needs you! This is your community, get involved and make your voice heard as we identify what is important to Muncie's future. Come to one of five public meetings Dec.1, 2 or 3. See below for meeting times and places. MITS will provide free bus service to all the public meeting locations.

This may be the only plan that is being developed by the community, for the community through Public Input Meetings that will allow us to express our values and aspirations for Muncie.

Through a process of talking to fellow citizens in small groups (8-12 people) your thoughts will be captured and form the basis of a plan which will guide the City for years to come.

These meetings will begin with a full overview of the process and then break into small groups of 8 - 12 where you will share your ideas with neighbors and colleagues in a personal, meaningful, and directed process. All information will be collected by a facilitator.

The final product - The Muncie Action Plan - will serve as a blueprint for the future and will include specific - and implementable - action steps for short term and mid-term projects.This will not only capture the values and hopes, but provide an action plan, it will be the basis for planning for the City in the years to come. Part of this effort will identify priorities for spending Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds for the next five years.

Whether you live here, work here, or both; whether you have been here your entire life or just a few months - please don't miss this opportunity to participate in this exciting project that will guide Muncie's future.
