4. 2. Vision for Mattoon by the City Council In 2028… Mattoon as a center for local arts and culture, to host arts and theater events, and Downtown has become a gathering place for markets, concerts, and other community- based activities. “ ”

5. No growth boundary, however… Mattoon’s current development pattern represents a clearly defined edge between the older areas of growth and surrounding agricultural lands. Though development has extended into peripheral areas in some portions of the community, this edge has remained intact. The surrounding landscape presents few barriers to new growth. However, the City must carefully consider the benefits of new growth versus the costs it would entail and the impacts on areas already in need of maintenance or redevelopment.

6. Planning for Inward Growth Rather than allowing growth that extends services and removes investment in the community, development and redevelopment has occurred in the City’s established neighborhoods and corridors to the extent practical. The city has encouraged concentrated growth around interchanges at CR1000N, Route 16, and Route 45. Productive farmland has been preserved through the careful development around the City’s edges.
