2010 PUBLIC FORUM
Quality of Place in Muncie

5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Ball State University Alumni Center
2800 W. Bethel Avenue, Muncie, IN

The Miller College of Business invites you to attend a forum to discuss the current and future condition of Muncie's "quality of place".
There are many ways of understanding quality of place. It is generally defined as:
"The physical characteristics of a community (how it is planned, designed, developed and maintained) that affect the quality of life for the people living and working in it, and those visiting it, both now and in the future."
Discussion will focus on what we, as a community, can do to improve our quality of place, and make Muncie attractive to businesses and residents alike.
