AGENDA

We envision a vibrant economy with a skilled workforce that attracts employers

who seize the opportunities presented by the county’s unique advantages and

provide the jobs that create countywide prosperity.

We envision a sustainable system of high‐quality education, community health,

public safety, housing, retail, recreation, arts and culture, and infrastructure, in

which development complements our natural resources and environment.

We envision a model community which is governed in an open and ethical manner,

where great ideas are replicated and brought to scale, and all sectors work

collaboratively to reach shared goals.
