Step 2: Developing a Vision for the Future

(Chapter 3 – Developing a Community Vision)

What do you want your community to be like in 10 or 20 years? The picture that your community team comes up with is your community vision. This vision should address not only environmental issues, but also all the issues you consider central to your community’s future, such as economic development, education, government services, and quality of life. You will be creating a framework to help you make choices about your community’s land use goals and solutions as you develop your comprehensive land use plan.

Because the community vision will shape important decisions, it needs to represent a broad consensus. A community meeting is a good place to develop a vision for the future.
