What is a downtown master plan?
The Hutch Downtown Master Plan will guide the growth, development, and improvement of our downtown for years to come. The master plan will be our road map as we make decisions, paving the way for a vibrant downtown that captures the uniqueness of Hutchinson.

Understand and evaluate downtown's current state and composition
Identify downtown's biggest challenges and assets
Host discussions and work together to identify Hutchinson's vision for downtown
Determine opportunities for land uses improvements and aesthetic enhancements
