It is bounded approximately by Washington Street on the north, the railroad track and State Road 67 on the east, the end of Indiana Street on the south, and White Lick Creek on the west. This is a fully developed, mixed use district, so that the plan focuses on reuses of existing property amid an established pattern of activity. In this district lies the heart of local commercial and civic activity. Here also is where some of the oldest and best established neighborhoods are found. The many Victorian style buildings give this district special significance in the goal of promoting an atmosphere of small town charm. There are town major commercial areas in this district. The first is the central business district that should extend from Washington Street through High Street along Indiana Street and from Jefferson Street to the alley just west of Clay Street along Main Street. There is limited parking and notable architecture uses. These uses should not encroach on the adjoining residential areas beyond what is proposed in the plan to preserve the neighborhoods. The second commercial area is the large general business strip along Indiana Street beginning just south of High Street and extending to State Road 67. Because of good access, high visibility and concentration of activity, this area should continue to be used for general business. The floodplain at the southernmost tip of this area should also be used for general business if adequate fill, drainage and utilities are provided.
