A comprehensive plan is a document that describes a long-term vision that a community wants to achieve. It is a broad brush look at the entire community in terms of where it is now and where it would like to be in the coming years. It looks at the many parts of the community, how the community functions, and its role in the region. The future vision is depicted with maps showing future conditions and with goals, objectives, and policies. Tasks and activities are also identified that need to be achieved to help implement the plan. By law, this comprehensive plan must look out at least 20 years. “A comprehensive plan is intended to provide a Having described what a comprehensive plan is, it’s also rational basis for appropriate to describe what a comprehensive plan is not. making local land use Because a comprehensive plan is strategic in scope, it does not focus on physical design elements.

Resources are often focused on a particular population (e.g. people with disabilities, people living with HIV/AIDS, people experiencing homelessness, veterans). HUD Resources HUD provides a variety of resources to states, local governments, and nonprofit housing agencies to provide access to or in order to develop affordable housing. This information is presented primarily to provide health care providers with a general overview of federal resources available for affordable housing and supportive service providers, as well as the clients they serve.

Northpointe will act as the lead Developer for the project and Avante will be co-developing the site. Our proposal will focus the redevelopment on uses that promote health, wellness and inclusion that embody the essence of Hometown USA. The New Century School Building will be preserved and listed on the National Registry of Historic places. The remaining school site will be transformed into a Central Park that will provide Verona with new amenities surrounded by a mixture of employment and housing opportunities. The park will be the main attraction with the intent of bringing the community and others to downtown Verona. The mixture of surrounding uses represents many needs of a growing community. Church Ave will be extended to Legion Street and new access points from Verona Avenue and Marietta Street will give the site the proper accessibility and connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods and downtown. Surrounding the new Central Park on the Sugar Creek School site will be two 55-unit buildings of new affordable senior housing, 32 townhome units of workforce housing, and two 71-unit luxury market rate apartments.
