A public comment period and public meeting were held for the Joint Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commissions of each municipality recommended the adoption of the plan to the Boards/Council.
A copy of the proposed Plan can be reviewed at the following locations:
- On-line by downloading the document (high speed connection recommended)
- Memorial Webster Library in Decatur during business hours
- Decatur Village Hall at 114 N. Phelps Avenue during business hours
The plan sets a 20 year vision for the community. An effective plan accurately communicates citizens' needs and desires about their community and recommends specific strategies to achieve those values. The community vision is to preserve and protect the rural, small town character and agricultural base of the area while providing for economic and residential growth in and around the Village. Further, the plan seeks to protect water quality, natural resources and rural character while encouraging a broad range of housing options and prices in residential areas and a diverse local economy in planned areas with infrastructure.
