• Extensions to county and city roads including CRs 200E, 200S, 300E, 300S and city streets Apraw Road, Cumberland Road, Main Street and Highland Avenue.

Also in the plan’s recommendations were wastewater and utility expansions to the I-69 corridor, where commercial and industrial developments would be located. The plan also asked for new subdivisions near CR 200W, CR 300W, Maysville Road and on Oak Grove Road to Troy Road.

A green way connecting the city’s park was also included, with the recommendation to create a local preservation commission for the city’s historic homes and districts. The plan also said the city should buy foreclosed housing and create housing for all incomes.

Many of the recommendations were assumed by some on the commission as just as they were, recommendations only.

“The plan itself doesn’t change any rules, regulations or zonings whatsoever,” Plan Commission President Art Biddinger said. “It’s a very well organized plan.”

“This plan sets up a checklist by the plan commission and the staff that helps the commission,” Rueppel said.

Construction on I-69 will start, according to INDOT earlier this year, will start in 2011 and finish in Washington around 2015.

The plan was paid for by a grant with INDOT. Daviess County also had a land use plan developed in conjunction with the city’s comprehensive plan.
