More DescriptionLike most cities, and particularly legacy cities, Muncie faces many challenges, with limited resources available to address them. Making strategic decisions about how to allocate those resources is essential for shaping neighborhoods that are more vibrant, stable, and sustainable-and creating a healthier city.The ReLocal tool developed by PlaceEconomics provides a data-based framework for tackling vacant and abandoned properties. Drawing on information from the parcel level to the citywide scale, ReLocal lays out sustainable long-range uses for neighborhoods and makes targeted, practical recommendations for how vacant buildings and empty lots can contribute to those long-range use plans.This report discusses the ReLocal tool, its field test in Muncie, and how it can be applied in other communities.
