Section 1
Background
The focus of this planning effort is the creation
of a cohesive economic development strategy
for the development and/or redevelopment
of the US 20/I-69 interchange. The current
interchange serves as the primary southern
gateway into the community. It developed
organically over time to primarily meet the
needs of the interstate traveler. That has
resulted in the development of typical uses
that you find at rural interchanges. These
uses are disconnected from the core of the
community or other primary commerce areas,
and include such uses as fast food outlots, fuel
stations, storage units, high density residential,
and small industrial buildings. Over time, the
product of this development does not set the
first impression desired by the community.
The original study area was comprised of
approximately 750 acres of area around the
US 20/I-69 Interchange. The majority of this
area was already annexed to the City of Angola.
During the analysis phase of the planning
process, it was determined that the primary
area of study needed to be expanded further
north and south of US 20 and the final study
area contained approximately 1,260 acres.
The area is made up of significant acreage of
undeveloped properties, as well as the collection
of uses mentioned above.
