Public Open House: Sept 24, 6 PM @ Jena Town Hall

Now that you have had time to distill the ideas and concepts that came out of the charrette, members of the consultant team will be back in Jena to receive additional input. The public open house will include a presentation of the draft plan outline and a discussion on implementation steps taken to date. It is not too late to provide critical input in the planning process. Come out and see us!

The Town of Jena was one of five communities chosen by the Center for Planning Excellence (CPEX) in August 2008 to participate in the Community Planning Program. CPEX awarded the Town $80,000 in seed funding, which the town matched. The Town of Jena hired a consultant team led by Code Studio to develop the community's first ever town plan "Jena's Vision." CPEX staff will also provide technical assistance to aid in the planning effort.

The Town Plan will guide future growth and development. It will address several different elements such as land use, housing, transportation, downtown development and design, infrastructure, drainage, and open space conservation.
