COMMUNITY PLANNING
leave a Legacy
What is it?
Community planning is essential for facilitating economic growth and development. We assist in the development of programs, policies, and activities that help to improve the economic well-being and quality of life for a community. Community planning allows us to provide a collaboration between residents and the city's local government to explain how they want their communities to look, feel, and function in the future. These desires are compiled into comprehensive plans, which demonstrate a community's future goals.
The Truman Council can help by applying for economic development funding initiatives on behalf of our communities, including Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). These grants are used to help local communities strengthen their economy by improving local public infrastructure, streets, drainage, and bridges.

According to the EDA, CEDS is a strategy-driven plan for regional economic development. A CEDS is the result of a regionally-owned planning process designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of an area or region. Click here to learn more.

Surveys
The Harry S Truman Coordinating Council (HSTCC) offers professional income survey services to help communities gather the data needed for eligibility in various state and federal grant programs. Surveys are conducted in accordance with official guidelines to ensure accuracy and compliance. The cost for this service typically ranges from $2,500 to $3,000, depending on the size and scope of the survey.
