Clay County Community Plan
The Clay County Community Plan serves as a strategic roadmap to guide the county toward a thriving and sustainable future. Rooted in extensive community engagement and regional collaboration, the plan identifies key priorities and actionable strategies across four central pillars: infrastructure, economic development, health and wellness and community identity. These focus areas aim to address current challenges while leveraging opportunities to enhance the quality of life for all residents.
The plan also aligns with state and regional initiatives like READI, leveraging partnerships to secure funding for shovel-ready projects that can drive economic growth and community development. By addressing challenges head-on and maximizing its strengths, Clay County is positioned to foster a resilient, vibrant community with opportunities for all.

A pivotal moment in this planning process was our successful partnership with the Wabash Valley Community Foundation.
