The City of Muncie announces its intention to prepare an application for the Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Communities Program sponsored by the

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The purpose of the program is to allow Muncie residents the opportunity to create a strategic plan for the city and to possibly receive the funding to realize their vision. HUD would like communities to take a comprehensive look at everything that contributes to a healthy, safe and productive life for all residents. In return, the federal government will choose several communities nationwide as Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Zone Communities. These communities will receive up to $100 million dollars for empowerment zones or $3 million dollars for enterprise community status, as well as, tax benefits and special consideration for federal grants in a variety of areas including housing, education, public safety, infrastructure, and many more. Communities which are not chosen will be given special consideration for federal grant just for completing the application. However, completing the application is an immense project which will require the participation of the entire community. The application process will allow all sectors of the Muncie community to come together and completely assess the needs of residents and make plans to address those needs. This process of developing the plan focuses on resident participation.

HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros says, “We believe the best strategy for community empowerment is a community-dri-ven comprehensive approach which coordinates economic, physical, environmental, community and human needs.” To achieve the fullest possible participation the process of community forums has been designed to give every resident the opportunity to express their vision of Muncie. There will be three residents’ forums. The first forum will be held on Monday, March 21st at 6:30 p.m. in the Ball State University Ballroom. Residents who live in or near the following neighborhoods are strongly encouraged to participate: Wests ide, Riverside/Normal City, Anthony/Northside, Westwood/Petti grew Acres, Westridge, Orchard Lawn, Forest Park, Old West End and Westview.
