Why Plan?

The planning process brings together all members of the community to learn, listen, and collaborate with one another in order to create a clear and consistent community-wide vision. The final plan document is a reflection of that effort and serves as a roadmap to guide decision-making toward objectives identified during the planning process.

The primary objectives of the City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan are to:

Create a unifying vision for future growth and development;
Fulfill the State of Indiana’s comprehensive plan requirements,
Work toward the standards in AARP’s Livable Communities Index;
Engage diverse segments of the population in meaningful ways;
Establish clear guidance for decision makers;
Development implementation strategies; and
Develop a user-friendly, functional document.
