What is Imagine One 85?
Imagine One 85 is an unprecedented countywide collaboration to develop a bold, comprehensive plan for the growth and prosperity of the communities of Wabash County.
Together, residents and leaders will create a plan that addresses the population challenge—and articulates a long-range vision for quality of life, growth, land use, education, environment, economic development, transportation, recreation and public health—in a sustainable, results-oriented and measurable way.
We believe this is the most important work currently happening in the communities of Wabash County. Why?
This plan represents our best opportunity to address the needs and aspirations of anybody and everybody, any business and every business, and any institution and every institution.
When you see an opportunity to participate in Imagine One 85, we hope you will join enthusiastically—and prepare to claim your share of the pride when our population curve bends upward.
