Community Vision Plan
Community-Driven Goals
To create a community by choice rather than chance, throughout 2020 and 2021, our community gathered both in person and virtually to determine a shared vision for the future. Well over 600 stakeholders, including business and educational leaders, government representatives of the Village of Hartville and Lake Township, as well as the general public, voiced their needs and imaginations through a thoughtfully led community engagement process by architecture and design firm, Rothschild Doyno Collaborative.
Purpose:
The overall purpose of the West Maple Revitalization project is to beautify and connect the community along West Maple Street from Historic Downtown Hartville to the roundabouts at the Hartville Hardware, Kitchen, MarketPlace & Flea Market.Community Consensus:
We have gathered input from stakeholders, including business and educational leaders, government representatives of the Village of Hartville and Lake Township, as well as a survey of the general public. This process has allowed us to reach a consensus for the future vision plan for West Maple Street.Watch the Video
