One Marshall County unveils strategic plan; City schedules public input session for comprehensive‑plan update
Summary
One Marshall County leaders presented a strategic plan prioritizing housing, infrastructure, quality of place and workforce; the group said it secured funding for a three‑year community coordinator. City planning staff announced a public input session on Feb. 25 (5–7 p.m., Heartland Art Center) to gather comment on a targeted comprehensive‑plan update for the northeast sector.
Leaders of One Marshall County and planning staff addressed the Plymouth Common Council on Feb. 9 to outline a countywide strategic plan and to preview city planning work.
One Marshall County representatives described a five‑year strategy with three pillars: housing and infrastructure, quality of place (including arts and culture), and business growth and workforce development. The organization said it has prioritized over 120 community‑sourced projects, secured funding to fund a full‑time community coordinator for three years and plans to contract for grant writing and small community support funds to help local groups access state and federal funding.
City planners said an update to the comprehensive plan will focus on the northeast sector near U.S. 30/31 and the CSX corridor and will be supported by Ball State urban‑planning students. Staff announced a public input meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 25, 5–7 p.m., at the Heartland Art Center and encouraged residents to participate.
Council members and One Marshall County leaders said coordinated, regionally scaled grant writing and prioritization will help towns compete for larger state and federal programs. No formal council action was required.
