As a strategically planned community, we proactively look for ways to improve our quality of life. We collaborate with residents and businesses in identifying the services and amenities that matter most and align with our founding pillars — lifelong learning, arts and culture, health and wellness, and environmental sustainability.

New Albany was built upon the strongest traditions of small-town America. Take a walk through Village Center, enjoy free events at Hinson Amphitheater, or stroll through our Farmers Market and you’ll find a remarkably friendly, welcoming community.

In fact, our technology incubator is called Innovate New Albany. Innovation is not just for business. We constantly challenge ourselves to find better ways to improve services and protect our community’s assets, whether it’s robust, high speed fiber optics or roundabouts to control traffic.

New Albany offers intellectually and culturally stimulating programs ranging from the New Albany Lecture Series featuring internationally renowned thought leaders to the McCoy Center for the Arts performances and Innovate New Albany’s Tiger Talks for entrepreneurs and innovators.

Built on a 200-acre learning campus bordered by a nature preserve, the New Albany-Plain Local School District consistently ranks among the best in the state and earns a five-star rating across all components – one of only 12 districts in the state to do so.

Sidewalks leading to parks in every neighborhood and 80+ miles of leisure trails connecting residents and businesses within the community, are just a few of the ways we promote pedestrian connections. We also host the New Albany Walking Classic, the largest walking-only event in the country.

New Albany is home to a one-of-a-kind model of health, wellness and fitness—The Heit Center for Healthy New Albany—combining medical practices and state-of-the-art fitness facilities with programs ranging from healthful cooking to meditation. Don’t miss out on HNA Wellness Works which offers a series of programs for our employees.

The New Albany Community Foundation leverages our generosity to support educational, cultural, leisure and health programs and services. Abercrombie and Fitch Co. hosts the A&F Classic, a day-long festival to support nonprofits that
empower youth, teens and young adults. And, you’ll find a vast array of nonprofits, from the New Albany Food Pantry to Canine Companions.

Throughout the city, you’ll find more than 2,000 acres of woodlands and meadows protected from development, 600 acres of parkland and an 80-acre nature preserve and learning lab on the school campus. Rose Run Park creates a greenway that will eventually connect Market Square to the historic Village Center.

Public-private partnerships allow us to do more with less to create one-of-a-kind civic, cultural, and educational resources We are thankful for the many companies, employees, and residents that step up to improve our quality of life.
