Mitchell Vision Plan

Mitchell Strategic Vision Plan

The focus of the Mitchell Strategic Vision Plan is to allow the residents of Mitchell to be the driving force behind the future changes the City of Mitchell.  To accomplish this goal, a team from Ball State University's Community Based Projects Program held a series of community meetings and interviewed community groups, civic officials, and business leaders in order to find out what critical issues, challenges and opportunities were present in the community.  With this information, the strategic plan was created featuring projects, programs, and strategies to help guide the future growth of the Mitchell community toward the vision of its citizens.

Purpose

The Mitchell Strategic Vision Plan has been undertaken to explore the issues currently facing Mitchell, Indiana, build on its many strengths, and to provide a guide for its development in the areas of economic development, housing, community development, community character, and land use planning.

A Continuing Future

The Mitchell Strategic Vision Plan is intended to be a "living" document and an integrated component of the ongoing planning and development process.  This plan, like all plans, may be amended as the community grows and changes.

This plan is intended to act as a catalyst for positive and continuing change in the community.  Planning is an evolving, responsive, and flexible process.  The goals, recommendations, and strategies represent the concerns of many citizens and government officials who are working toward a brighter future for Mitchell.
