WHAT'S HAPPENED SO FAR. . .

In 2001, Community COMPASS identified the collective wishes and dreams for Hamilton County’s future through 11 Community Forums. Then, on January 12, 2002, more than 1,300 people came together at the first CountywideTown Meeting to validate the Vision and set the course for Hamilton County’s future. Four goals emerged:

• Assure Economic Prosperity

• Build Collaborative Decision Making

• Embrace Diversity and Equity

• Balance Development and the Environment

Since the County-Wide Town Meeting, COMPASS Action Teams (CATs) and the Planning Partnership have refined objectives and strategies that correlate with these goals. A State of the County Report, prepared by Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission Staff, is also completed. The report series outlines conditions, findings, opportunities and key measures related to improving and sustaining quality of life in twelve major systems (vision elements) in our community. Each report lays the groundwork for refining action plans. Hamilton County’s Vision into the 21st century includes the vision statements shown below, along with the four goals and related objectives on the next page. The Vision should be viewed through the four lenses of the goals since each provides important considerations and direction.
 

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.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON


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