Noble

The Heart of the Community

Noble, Oklahoma | Fall 2023

The City of Noble sought a plan for its historic downtown district. The IQC team conducted regular steering committee meetings and attended two local festivals to engage with residents on participation for a community survey and design preference activities. Research and data collection/analysis were also key components of this project to gage a sense of the community’s needs and preferences. The process resulted in four big themes: pedestrian safety, placemaking, beautification, and economic development.
