The South Madison Community Event Calendar was created to help keep our small towns strong, even as we grow. The Community Event Calendar is managed by the South Madison Community Foundation as a tool to support nonprofit and community organizations in their efforts to create a more vibrant and connected community.

The Town of Pendleton’s corridors, while varied in uses and overall character, play an important role in the community’s image and continued economic development opportunities. The corridors serve as the Town’s front door. This Corridor Overlay District Ordinance provides realistic and pragmatic solutions for property owners and businesses. These regulations are placed over the existing zoning regulations in the Town’s Unified Development Ordinance. Please join us to offer your input on various architectural, landscaping, signage and other standards for these corridor and gateway areas.
For more information, please reach out to the Planning Department at hurbanski@pendleton.in.gov or 765.778.8370
