Norwalk, Ohio Comprehensive Plan
September 2006

 

The Comprehensive Plan is the product of two years of effort by local citizens, business leaders and government officials. Over 300 recommendations are made in this document, each with a targeted time frame for achievement.  This plan reflects the vital interests, hopes and dreams of this community.

While the document describes a vast number of issues requiring attention, a number of priorities must be at the forefront:

Community Character/Quality of Life – The mission expressed in the Comprehensive Plan reflects the fundamental values of the community: We must plan for orderly growth while maintaining our rich heritage and the safe, family-friendly atmosphere we love.
Economic Development /Downtown Norwalk – A healthy business base is the key to the health of the community. We must strive to retain and attract new industry as well as support the entrepreneur and family-owned shops.
Infrastructure and Utilities/Natural Resources – Continued improvements to infrastructure must be designed to meet growth needs and regulations while reflecting good stewardship of our environment and resources. A primary focus must be securing a secondary water source as wells as ensuring access to high-speed telecommunications.
Transportation/Housing – We must maintain and build transportation systems that are safe and efficient and advocate for a full mix of quality housing options.
Community Services/Facilities – We must continue to strive for strong and reliable safety forces with adequate facilities and personnel. We must preserve and promote the many service organizations sustaining the City, as they are essential to a sound quality of life.
Land Use – The heart of this Comprehensive Plan is centered in our Land Use Plan. Where will we grow and how? We must preserve a sound balance between emerging residential use and commercial needs.
