INTRODUCTION

Community COMPASS (Hamilton County's Comprehensive Master Plan and Strategies) is a long-range plan that seeks to address mutual goals related to physical, economic, and social issues among the 49 communities within Hamilton County. Through a collective shared vision for the future based on the wishes and dreams of thousands of citizens, Hamilton County now has direction to chart its course into the 21 century. The Vision contained within this document forms the basis for the next steps in the planning process: a state of the county assessment identifying trends along with indicators to track their progress; initiatives and strategies that provide measurable ways to achieve the Vision; and action plans designating who, how, and when the strategies will be implemented. All these components comprise the Comprehensive Master Plan and Strategies.

In developing a broad vision with broad support, Community COMPASS will help ensure that trends are anticipated, challenges are addressed, priorities are focused, and our collective future is planned and achieved strategically over the next 20 to 30 years. Through an in-depth analysis of all aspects of the County, the multi-year Community COMPASS process will result in a comprehensive plan - the first such plan for Hamilton County since 1964.

The Planning Partnership has been instrumental in launching the Community COMPASS plan. The Partnership, a groundbreaking committee of the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission, is comprised of government, civic and private organizations, and individuals focused on planning our future.

Vision without action is a day dream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

JAPANESE PROVERB

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

If you don’t know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
