~ Bloomington, IN- The City of Bloomington has announced its search for residents, business owners, property owners, and other community members to join the newly formed Steering Committee for the Gateway North focus area. This focus area is one of several identified in the City's 2018 Comprehensive Plan for additional planning.

The Gateway North focus area encompasses the region between N Rogers Street to the west and N Dunn Street to the east, including Millers-Showers Park and N College Avenue and N Walnut Street. The City's 2018 Comprehensive Plan identified various focus areas where additional planning would aid in guiding future investment, redevelopment, and public improvements.

As the first official focus area plan intended for adoption into the Comprehensive Plan, the Gateway North plan will establish a long-term vision, goals, and strategies for physical, social, and economic development in the area. Community input will play a crucial role in shaping recommendations for infrastructure improvements, public investment, and future development.
