The City of Greenwood, IN

GREENWOOD, Ind. – Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers recently announced the development of a new Comprehensive Plan which will serve as Greenwood’s all-encompassing “blueprint for the future”. The city last updated the existing Comprehensive Plan in 2007.

The Greenwood Board of Public Works and Safety approved the launch of the City's new Comprehensive Plan during its June meeting. Designed to guide future growth and development, the plan will prioritize the eastern corridor's sustained expansion and reinvestment in mature areas of the community, solidifying Greenwood's position as one of the state's fastest-growing cities.

“Greenwood’s new Comprehensive Plan will outline our collective vision for the city, goals and principles to achieve success, and most importantly, it will be a community-driven plan,” said Mayor Myers. “The development of this plan will be a collaborative effort across city leadership, residents and our engineering partner, HWC Engineering.”

Greenwood selected HWC Engineering’s Planning and Landscaping Architecture team to help create this community vision, aligned with the City's "Four Pillars”: Public Safety, Infrastructure, Economic Development and Quality of Life. Developed in tandem with the community, the plan will span approximately four phases: envisioning, consensus building, plan formulation and practical action step development.

“HWC Engineering stood out to us as a valuable partner for this project due to their team’s broad range of expertise and skillsets,” said Greenwood Planning Director Gabe Nelson. “The firm has an extensive background in comprehensive planning and presented us with a process designed to proactively seek meaningful community involvement, something we take very seriously.”
