Mooresville, IN

Comprehensive Plan

The Town of Mooresville has made concentrated efforts to protect community character, celebrate history, and serve residents and businesses in a fiscally responsible manner. However, growth has been occurring around Mooresville in surrounding communities and unincorporated portions of Brown Township. The Town is now dealing with the impacts of surrounding growth with increased demand for services and more traffic on Town streets. Since much of this new development has occurred outside Town limits, Mooresville faces the difficult task of growing services and capacity to address resident concerns generated by development that has not contributed to Town revenues.

The Mooresville Comprehensive Plan and Thoroughfare Plan work together to address community concerns and provide a strategic framework for informed decision-making by elected and appointed officials. Key priorities include expanding the Town’s capacity to manage development pressures, enhancing quality of place amenities for residents, and restricting development in critical areas until a clear strategy for infrastructure and annexation is in place.

Mooresville’s proximity to major employment centers, access to key transportation corridors, and recent upgrades to I-69 and I-70 underscore the importance of a unified vision for the Town’s transportation network. The Thoroughfare Plan evaluates the current transportation system, anticipates increased traffic volumes based on projected regional growth, and outlines targeted recommendations to address future traffic and safety challenges. These efforts aim to ensure the transportation network supports Mooresville’s long-term goals for quality of life and economic development.
