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.
