1 INTRODUCTION
Bluffton, Ohio is a place and a people. It is institutions, governmental and nongovernmental systems, and it is home. People form families, find work and livelihood here, build and operate businesses, educate and care for children, develop values, provide goods and services. It is a home away from home for university students, and it is the choice of many to retire here.
Excerpt from 2006 Final Visioning Report
In 2022-2023, the Village of Bluffton enlisted the expertise of Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission (LACRPC) to create this comprehensive plan to guide development over the next two decades. The Village, with a steering committee of 10 residents appointed by the mayor, created Bluffton Beyond Tomorrow in conjunction with LACRPC staff. The document is designed to reflect the current state of the community and establish a vision for the future, building upon the 2006 Final Visioning Report.
