residents and tourists.
Where distinct neighborhoods and business areas connect with
each other through green ways and trails to protected natural habitat,
recreational attractions, and other destinations; and where the arts
deepen and enhance our community.
Where active, healthy, individual and family lifestyles are
supported through varied recreational and educational opportunities;
where we demonstrate our commitment to youth; where both young
and old enjoy community gathering places; where neighbors of all
backgrounds respect and appreciate each other; and where diversity is
celebrated.
Where homes meet residents' lifetime needs and are in
neighborhoods that are accessible and connected with one another;
where housing developments and public spaces reflect community
needs; and where the city's unique historic personality is thoughtfully
balanced with easy access to urban conveniences.
Where we support high quality, life-long educational
opportunities; where employees receive living wages; and where both
local businesses and corporate headquarters are welcomed and well-
supported.
Where residents are invested in the community and provide input
on local issues; where open communication and community service
are valued; and where high standards reflect our vision and
commitment to creating a sense of community for generations to come.
. Step back and reflect is as the 20-yr vision
. Comes from community conversations, values to vision, open house, issues briefs, mapping
workshop
. Umpteen hours of community investment with hundreds of people contributing their best
thinking + months and months of SC work
. This is vision, not strategy; goals, strategies, and tactics are the next steps; those began with
the mapping workshop and will continue through the summer toolbox workshops
. Worked every single word so very hard
. Also understand that others must understand this, and we need to be prepared to explain and
make necessary changes in order for this to happen
. Approve it for distribution to the broader community as planned, and for final adoption as part
of the strategic plan by fall
