Salem 2040 Master Plan LOCATION: SALEM, MISSOURI ACADEMIC: 3RD YEAR, 2ND SEMESTER STUDIO [COMMUNITY] YEAR: 2018 [ GROUP PROJECT ]
Salem, Missouri is a small town (pop. 4,916) located in central southern Missouri. As part of a community studio, we were tasked with developing a master plan for the city of Salem that addressed issues that would affect the long term resilience of the town. Issues that were addressed in town meetings included youth retention, attracting new community members, business opportunities, etc. From these town meetings, our team created a comprehensive plan to address these needs through various methods. Common themes between the solutions were connectivity of community, first impressions for newcomers, and affordable housing for the youth.
