New Albany Next's first phase is the discovery phase. Discovery phase allows the planning team the opportunity to research and analyze the City from a statistical viewpoint and follow up with onsite conversations about the future of the City.

The first discovery conversation kicking off the planning process was held on March 21, 2019 at the Union County Heritage Museum. New Albany had previously designated an Advisory Group for the project and 35 of the 38 Advisory Group members attended the meeting.
