We Serve Huntington

COVID-19 UPDATE:

Effective June 2, 2021 the City Building has reopened to the public.

The Community Development and Redevelopment Department is a full service land use and development department. The Department works alongside a number of other City Departments, elected officials, local partners and regional organizations to enhance the quality of life in our community, neighborhood by neighborhood, for everyone's benefit. This is accomplished through the oversight of development related activities within the jurisdiction of the City of Huntington, Indiana. Currently the jurisdiction includes all property located within the corporate limits of the City of Huntington.

Planning and Zoning
The Department works with the Plan Commission to implement the City's Comprehensive Plan, which guides the City's future growth and development.  The Zoning Code, Subdivision Code and other land use and development codes collectively translate the vision of the Comprehensive Plan through prescribed development standards.

Building
Building functions include the coordination of all facets of residential and commercial construction activity.  This includes the issuance of all construction related permits for work within the City's jurisdiction.  Projects and plans are reviewed for compliance with state and local Building Codes prior to permit issuance.  Conformance with applicable codes is further verified through regular inspections at various stages of construction.  The Department also responds to citizen complaints about unsafe structures and violations of minimum housing standards.

Redevelopment
Redevelopment functions include the promotion and implementation of projects that serve as a catalyst for economic development in blighted and underutilized areas as identified by the Redevelopment Commission.  The Department assists the Commission in the administration of the City's Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts and implementation of the Economic Development Plan.  Typically this involves partnering with private investors and developers to identify and overcome barriers to growth in order to help grow the tax base and create jobs.

Mission Statement: We Serve Huntington by providing honest, responsive and personalized service in order to enhance quality of life and foster growth by guiding physical development in conjunction with the City of Huntington Comprehensive Plan.

2022 Primary Elections Results

VOTE CENTERS of Huntington County

    ...it's your choice!

Huntington County Voters have always been given the ability to pick their candidates but now they can have the convenience of picking their voting place also!

Common questions concerning Vote Centers:

What is a Vote Center?

                A vote center is a polling place where any registered voter in Huntington County may vote as long as the voter lives in the district holding the election.  The vote center model gives voters more flexibility on Election Day because they are not limited to a specific polling location. Vote Centers are connected through secure internet connections, and as voters check-in, an electronic poll book is instantaneously updated.

Why are Vote Centers a good idea?

                While it is possible that counties will save money using vote centers, the true purpose of the vote centers concept is to increase voter convenience and accessibility.

Can a voter go to any available Vote Center?

                Yes, a voter can visit any Vote Center that is operating for that election.  A list of Election Day vote centers will be advertised well beforehand in local publications and on the County Clerk's website. The voter may pick the Vote Center that is closest to where they work, closest to where they live or closest to where they're doing their errands that day.  They will not be required to vote in one particular spot.

Will regular polling locations be available in addition to Vote Centers?

                No, voting will only occur at Vote Centers, although there might be a few previous precinct polling locations that will be used as Vote Centers.

What if it isn't convenient to vote on Election Day...will there be early voting available?

                There are several ways to vote early before an election.  Early voting is set up in the Clerk's Office for in-person voting prior to Election Day.  Absentee voting by mail is another convenient option available.  And now with the introduction of Early Voting Satellite locations, there will be places where you can just drop in and vote in-person during the hours prior to Election Day that they are open.  For those individuals who are not able to leave their home and require assistance to vote we have Absentee Traveling Board.

Can voters still go to their old polling place?

The polling locations used in previous elections will not be open on Election Day unless they have been repurposed as a Vote Center.

How does the voting machine give the voter the correct ballot?

                Our voting machines can hold all the different ballots.  When the voter checks in, the poll workers of that Vote Center will assist them just as in the past.  No matter what precinct you live in, you will get the correct ballot, it does not matter which Vote Center you visit.  Voters will still be using the same voting machines they are familiar with.

With fewer polling locations, will there be long lines?

                Long lines are not expected because each Vote Center is equipped with electronic poll books and more voting machines.  The process of voting is streamlined and ultimately quicker.  Also, the more voters who take advantage of the many early voting options available will reduce the number of voters voting on Election Day.     

Does a voter need a specific reason to take advantage of Early Voting?

EARLY VOTING is a wonderful convenience that is offered to ALL registered voters.  A registered voter does NOT need a specific reason to vote early, either in the Clerk's Office or at an Early Voting Satellite location.  ANY registered voter can vote early at ANY available early voting location!

The Water Pollution Control Plant is the critical facility that removes harmful bacteria and other pollutants from wastewater before it is released into the Wabash River. The Huntington Water Pollution Control Plant provides wastewater treatment for the City of Huntington and parts of Huntington County.

The plant is capable of treating an annual average flow of 7.5 million gallons per day and a peak wet weather flow of 15 million gallons per day.

Protecting Public Health and the Environment

Following the treatment process, cleaned water (effluent) is released to the Wabash River. Organic matter that is removed from the wastewater (also called sludge) is treated and dried to form “biosolids” that can be used for agricultural land application.
