What is HCHI?
Huntington County Hometown Improvement is an exciting new initiative for our community. It focuses on engaging County residents to provide thoughts, ideas, and solutions for our community to thrive, by building on its many strengths. The initiative has five “Pillars” which focus on Civic Leadership, Family Life, Youth Attachment, Business Innovation and Community Development.
Huntington County residents from all walks of life are encouraged to get involved in the HCHI process and to help develop a unified vision of the future and action steps for our community.
HCHI is part of the statewide Home Town Competitiveness initiative of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs.
