City of Greensburg Community Infrastructure Planning

American Structurepoint assisted the City of Greensburg, Indiana, with several key initiatives aimed at improving community infrastructure and planning. Our team developed a Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to provide vision, direction, and a framework for the community’s growth.

The comprehensive plan set goals and objectives for land use, government and fiscal capacity, public facilities and services, placemaking, economic development, housing, transportation, agriculture, natural resources, parks and recreation, and historical resources. Our Vision2Action planning approach involved data collection, community engagement, and crafting goals and strategies for short- and long-term success.

The UDO consolidated Greensburg’s Zoning Code and Subdivision Control Ordinance, streamlining the development process and ensuring compliance with state and federal laws. This new ordinance was adopted in November 2023. Throughout these projects, continuous communication with city officials and stakeholders, as well as public outreach, was key to integrating all components seamlessly.

American Structurepoint also created Greensburg’s first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The primary goals for completing a bicycle and pedestrian master plan were to understand the true prevalence of walking and bicycling, increase the number of people walking and bicycling, and provide the community with actionable strategies for projects and programs related to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

Additionally, they formed a Capital Improvement Plan and Program (CIPP), which prioritized needed infrastructure projects over a 20-year horizon, with a detailed plan for the first five years. The CIPP ensured strategic investment of public funds and prioritized projects for local, state, and federal funding eligibility. The CIPP’s purview encompassed the city’s transportation infrastructure network. This includes roadways, including over 109 (centerline) miles of publicly maintained roads under local jurisdiction.
