Franklin, IN
Interstate 69 and King Street Corridor Plan
The primary gateway from Interstate 65 into Franklin was such an eyesore that local economic development officials brought prospective businesses to the city along local roads. HWC’s economic development plan recommended strategies to redevelop 420 acres at the interchange and to create a dynamic gateway experience into the community. Since these corridor improvements, the City of Franklin has attracted new restaurant, retail, and commercial investment totaling over $21 million.

Whitestown, IN
Thoroughfare Plan
In recent years, Whitestown has been the fastest growing community in Indiana. Since its previous thoroughfare plan was developed prior to this rapid growth, HWC was retained to prepare a thoroughfare plan that would accommodate forecasted growth. The plan’s first priority established access management and land use plans for the 146th Street extension from Hamilton County and the Ronald Reagan Parkway extension from Hendricks County. The plan also took into consideration a number of other concurrent planning efforts both within Whitestown and in surrounding communities.
