Share Your Knowledge and Shape Decision-Making in Delaware-Muncie
The adopted plan can be viewed in the library
Thank you to all who participated in the draft review and finalization process.
The four parts of this plan provide a detailed overview of our region’s priorities, our decision-making framework, our general direction, and the outcomes we seek.
It includes Strategic Investment Plans for the City of Muncie and Delaware County to guide implementation efforts.
How did public engagement shape TogetherDM?
The TogetherDM process gathered vital information from the public in a number of ways during 2021. It did so in a manner that went beyond the creation of community “wish lists” by sharing data, presenting trade-offs, and getting to the root of what the community values and what it is willing to do to achieve its goals.
Online Surveys
Two month-long digital surveys were used to gather broad public feedback.
March 2021
Key Issues and Priorities
August 2021

Open Houses
Open house meetings were used to present findings and engage participants in trade-offs and decision-making.
Week of June 14th, 2021
