Wellman
The City of Wellman is located in Washington County. Known for its small-town atmosphere and its location to larger employment centers, Wellman is attractive to both young families and the newly retired. In order to maintain competitive with other communities in southeast Iowa, City officials want to create a sustainability plan that would highlight its quality of life factors, and expand recreation, fitness, and entertainment opportunities.

Wellman Sustainability Plan
Urban and Regional Planning students created The Wellman Sustainability Plan which centers on sustainability-oriented recommendations for the City of Wellman.
Recommendations were drafted based on surveys, public meetings, and discussions with local officials. The Plan was a ten-year road map that categorizes recommendations into seven topics: economic development, water, parks and recreations, transportation, energy efficiency, housing, and food.
