Nearly 14 years ago, the Linton Comprehensive Plan was published, and it's interesting to go back and read this again. For instance, most all of the community issues listed as concerns among survey results remain, as shown below:
Based on 881 returned community surveys, community leader interviews and input from the Comprehensive Plan Committee, the top 15 issues facing Linton are:
• Lack of employment opportunities,
• Decayed and blighted properties,
• Keeping the “best and brightest” young people in the community,
• Vacant buildings,
• Communications between all parties involved in economic development in Greene County,
• Storm water drainage facilities,
• A shared vision for the future of Linton,
• Sidewalks for the handicapped,
• Encouraging new home building,
• Visual appearance,
• Affordable housing,
• Needs of the aging population,
• Additional recreation facilities,
• Housing for the elderly, and
• Lack of capital and business support systems to foster entrepreneurship/small businesses in Linton.
