Simpler Times Village Master Plan & Form-Based Code

Madison County, Indiana

A rural traditional neighborhood development, the Simpler Times Village is an innovative agriculturally-based and environmentally-sensitive community planned on 127 acres of land in Madison County, Indiana. The design of the development is based on Smart Growth, New Urbanist, and LEED-ND principles. The village will contain a range of housing opportunities and choices within a walkable distance of a mixed-use village center. Progressive storm water management systems were developed to contain, store, and reuse rainwater for irrigation. A highly customized Ordinance was also developed for the project to ensure the unique character envisioned would be preserved.
