THE VISION
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND SOCIAL CAPITAL
A strong sense of community (within a county-wide framework) with increased
public involvement and influence in local and county decision making, that
encourages participation by all people in community building, where
inclusiveness is embraced and volunteerism is encouraged.

Quality of life improvements through improved safety services, community
beautification, and well planned and maintained comprehensive infrastructure
with consideration of the impact on the built and natural environments.
CULTURE AND RECREATION
More and improved, accessible recreational and cultural and entertainment
activities and facilities (including parks and greenspace) that open
opportunities for people of varying ethnicities and ages throughout the
county (urban, suburban, rural) to improve the quality of life.
ECONOMY AND LABOR MARKET
A globally competitive and diverse economy that provides job opportunities
for all county residents, attractions for visitors, and makes best use of
our existing communities and resources.
EDUCATION
Quality educational opportunities throughout the County in learning
environments that are safe, secure and provide diverse curriculum and
cross-cultural learning opportunities to promote vocational and
academic success for all ages

hillsides, and wildlife are preserved, restored and managed to enhance the
unique character of the County.

and open communication.
GOVERNANCE
Effective and efficient local government that acts proactively and
cooperatively across political boundaries with elected, appointed and
community leaders responsive to and accessible by all citizens.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Affordable, quality, community based services and facilities that address
the needs of all residents.
HOUSING
A mix of residential choices throughout the county that provides an
opportunity for home ownership across a broad range of economic levels
including all lifestyles and age groups, that serves to preserve
architecturally and historically significant areas including revitalized
communities.
LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
Well-planned, controlled growth that, in the context of the greater region,
balances downtown, neighborhood and community development with open space
and natural areas to encourage revitalization of existing communities, and
aid in economic and racial integration.
