- The Community Profile summarizes Marion's current conditions and contains information related to
location, history, demographics, and resources.
- The Plan Elements focus on several main topics relevant to the future growth of Marion: land use
and zoning, transportation and circulation, city image and identity, neighborhood character, economic
development, intergovernmental cooperation, natural resources and environment, parks and recreation
and implementation.
- The Action Plan is a separate document that expands upon the Mission Statements and Objectives that
are identified in the Plan Elements with specific actions that will help each objective be met. The Action
Plan is meant to keep the community on task by highlighting a suggested lead organization, and associating
each action with a general timeline.
- Since each area of the city has a unique character and faces different challenges, a Sector Study was
completed for each of the main areas of Marion; Central, North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest,
West and Northwest. Each study follows the following format: character maps, neighborhood association
information, character district map, sector trends, zoning and land use information, and land use
recommendations. This section of the plan also focuses independently on the Downtown, Village and Indiana
Wesleyan University campus special study areas.
- The Public Input chapter summarizes the community meeting and survey results. These results were used to
guide the focus of the plan.
- The Appendix is a collection of the related research, in-depth studies, and the complete community meeting
and survey results that the bulk of the plan is based upon.
