Plans

The Highway 55 and Jacob Growth Area Plan provide land use guidance on future development and annexation of property along the western boundary of the City.  The plan guides property owners and prospective developers on the City’s desired growth.

The City's Housing and Economic Development and Redevelopment Authority (HEDRA) adopted a Downtown Property Study in 2021 which outlined proposed redevelopment opportunities and scenarios for land currently owned by HEDRA.  The plan outlines opportunities for additional residential and commercial development geared towards strengthening the downtown area.

The Heart of Hastings Plan was developed in 2003 to guide future redevelopment of Downtown Hastings and surrounding neighborhoods.  The Plan includes design guidelines and concepts for the redevelopment of key downtown properties including The Confluence, the Truck Highway (TH) 61 Bridge and Post Office Block.  Many ideas from the plan have already been implemented. 

Developed in 2018 the Vermillion Street Corridor Study presents a vision for redevelopment along Highway 61 - Vermillion Street. 

The Community Development Annual Report documents planning, building, economic development and historic preservation activities of the last year.
