Some of the areas that have been addressed in these plans include enhancements to several areas on Highway 175 to improve the view as travelers drive to Odebolt. Other plans address the downtown area, the Monument Circle Park and trail system. Below are a few examples of possible landscaping and configuration of directional signs that were presented during the "Visioning" process.   Keep in mind that these are conceptual designs and not all will be implemented!
