ABOUT THE PROJECT
The plan update will occur over the course of several months and, when complete, will offer strategic recommendations to encourage economic development, sustainability, and general improvements for the continued quality of life of residents and businesses. The process will include three key phases of work, each of which has a variety of community engagement and outreach opportunities.

This phase allows the project team to think about long-term goals and strategic action items that will ensure the community continues to maintain and improve upon their amenity and development offerings.

Educate
The Comprehensive Plan should ultimately be a document that serves the community's needs. To achieve this, robust community engagement is a crucial element.
The team developing the Comprehensive Plan is taking multiple measures to ensure that residents and business owners are included in the planning process. Engagement efforts for the plan include:
-
Stakeholder Sessions: Meetings with residents, local leaders, and business owners to gauge the community's needs going forward.
-
Public Engagement Events: Open houses and attendance at community events give residents opportunities to speak with the project team and voice their opinions.
-
Community Survey: A publicly available online survey with questions aimed at understanding what people love about Brookville and what they would like to see improved.
-
Steering Committee Meetings: Regular meetings with a set steering committee comprising a representative cross-section of Shelby, Mansfield, and Richland County where collective decision-making guides the plan drafting.

Empower
In this final phase, the project team will make sure the community has developed the actionable tools and partners they need to make lasting changes in the community.
