“What should be done to make Muncie the best it can be in the coming years?”

In 2009-2010, this question was answered by more than two thousand Muncie residents through brainstorming sessions, idea workshops, open houses, and public presentations.

The development process of the Muncie Action Plan was an unprecedented coming together of the community. The public has been involved every step of the way – first to generate ideas, next to articulate ‘values,’ and finally to affirm goals and actions.

The initial version of the Muncie Action Plan (MAP) was published in July 2010 and launched five taskforces:

• Task Force 1: Linking Learning, Health and Prosperity>

• Task Force 2: Fostering Collaboration>

• Task Force 3: Strengthening Pride and Image>

• Task Force 4: Creating Attractive and Desirable Places>

• Task Force 5: Managing Community Resources>

After three years, the Muncie Action Plan was re-evaluated through public forums to identify areas where MAP had good momentum, areas where it should continue to focus or shift attention, and new areas not previously identified. While a few elements of the plan changed, the basic principles and aspirations from the original plan remain tenets of MAP 2.0.

The third Muncie Action Plan (MAP3) is the result of a resident-driven planning process started in December 2017 and completed in August 2018. MAP3 builds off MAP1 and MAP2, which were completed in 2010 and 2013, respectively, to answer the question “What is needed for Muncie to be the best it can be in the coming years?”
