The City of Shinnston Blueprint Community Team (?Blueprint Community Team?) was formed to develop a long-range vision for the City of Shinnston. The City of Shinnston was one of ten communities in West Virginia selected to participate in training through a program sponsored by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh known as ?Blueprint Communities?. Team participants were selected from various sectors of the community with representatives from government, business, local organizations, community development groups, and youth. Among the team?s goals are to stimulate community participation, help provide guidance in decision-making, provide continuity over time, and help to establish a baseline for decisions considering the community as a whole. The Blueprint Team developed a comprehensive strategic plan to implement short-term and long-term revitalization projects within the City of Shinnston to address identified needs.
