Many of us have found ourselves wishing "they" had planned better for the future back "then." For coming generations, WE are "they" and NOW is "then." City staff and a committee of over 40 volunteers worked for seven months to develop a plan for the future.

Let us know what you think of this vision for the city, through the comment box at the bottom of this page.
