Carbondale Blueprint Communities brings together Carbondale’s community initiatives to create, develop, and sustain impactful community plans. Carbondale’s plans are resident-driven processes to create Carbondale into a safe and vibrant community.
The Carbondale community has been collaborating on a shared vision for enhancing the neighborhoods, civic spaces, sidewalks and trails in the City. This vision builds upon a four-year community engagement planning process of the Heart & Soul visioning from 2021 to 2024 as well as a one-year Outdoor Towns visioning process in 2021 to create this plan for Carbondale. After conducting a detailed assessment of the 909 parcels in the neighborhood study area in the winter of 2024, and identifying those parcels with the highest catalytic potential, this plan brought together both community input and site analysis to create a shared vision for Carbondale's Core Neighborhood.
Carbondale’s Core Neighborhood Plan recognizes the challenges faced by the neighborhood while building upon the existing strengths of the neighborhood to establish a clear vision to enhance its homes, infrastructure, civic spaces, and natural features. The plan was created through Blueprint Communities, NeighborWorks Northeastern Pennsylvania and Carbondale Heart & Soul in coordination with Carbondale Outdoor Towns.
