Great Towns

Great Towns are places with a future even more exciting and attractive than its past. Great Towns are places that are home to a thriving economy, a welcoming community, and the prospect for an even more prosperous future. What's holding your community back or keeping it from attracting the people, ideas, and investment you imagine? Great Towns, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization founded in 2012 for one purpose: To help smaller Indiana towns and communities become the strong, vibrant, and exciting places they were meant to be, as envisioned by the people who live there. How can we help catalyze your community's planning process? A new website? A town hall meeting? A community-wide survey? A signature fundraiser? Preserving buildings with a history? We can help and we want to be part of your team! Our primary focus is on towns with 10,000 and fewer residents. Working with your town's project directors, we deliver and implement specifically-tailored technical support and capacity-building programs to help your town become a successful great town -- one that is more inviting, economically strong, and resilient. Our core sectors of expertise are community engagement, long-range planning, enhancing the built environment, preserving the legacy, and placemaking. Let's Envision the Future Together!
