In October of 2013, the Huntingburg City Council adopted a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Economic Development Strategy.

A comprehensive plan is an official public document adopted by a local government to serve as a policy guide for decisions about the development of the community.  As a policy guide, it must recognize the interdependence of land use decisions, resource management, the process of governing, and the physical infrastructure of the built environment. 

This amended plan was an update to the Comprehensive Plan prepared for the City of Huntingburg by the Bonar Group in 2007.  The intent of the amendment was not to replace that plan, but to augment it with up-to-date data, revisit the key recommendations, receive input from a new elected administration and place more emphasis on the implementation process supporting economic development.

The updated plan is available here for your review and comment.

The Huntingburg Revolving Loan Fund (HRLF) was established to provide financial assistance for local small business development. The purpose of the HRLF is to provide low-interest loans to fill the "financial gap" that usually occurs when a small business is established and does not meet the traditional lending requirements. The HRLF committee oversees the loan program, which is managed by the City of Huntingburg. 

Huntingburg Revolving Loan Fund Committee: 

- Michael Olinger, Freedom Bank
- John Mundy, German American Bank
- Ken Schnaus, Springs Valley Bank & Trust
- Nick Stevens, Old National Bank

This 1887 Italianate structure, which can be found at 309 N. Geiger Street, features authentic Victorian lighting, elongated windows, 14-inch brick walls, and the original tin ceiling.  Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this building once served as a fire station and jail, and later as the focal point for Huntingburg's social, cultural, and political events through the 1930's.  After several decades, the building was renovated and, in full use today, now stands as a symbol of community pride.

The City of Huntingburg hosts “5-5-5,” a series of monthly 5K fun walk/runs intended to give people a chance to exercise in an enjoyable group setting. “5-5-5,” a program created by Huntingburg Mayor Denny Spinner, takes place on the second Friday of the month from April through August at 5:00 p.m. 

“I’ve been thrilled with the community response for “5-5-5” the past few years,” says Mayor Spinner. “The number of participants continues to grow, which proves this is a valuable program for all those involved.”

Children and adults of every fitness level are encouraged to participate in “5-5-5.”  Participants should meet at Huntingburg City Hall, located at 508 E. 4^th Street, prior to the 5:00 p.m. start time. There will be no timers during each 5K as it is meant to be a social opportunity that incorporates physical activity.

Participants must sign in at the registration table prior to each event, but are only required to sign a waiver before to their first event. Waivers are available at www.huntingburg-in.gov. Water and healthy snacks will be provided at the end of each 5K.  Those who participate in all 5 events will receive a free t-shirt. 

Corporate partners for “5-5-5” include OFS Brands, Farbest Foods, Hometown IGA, and the Tri-County YMCA.
