This spring, thousands of citizens read and responded to a draft vision for Greater Flagstaff, expressing their support, raising questions and concerns, and suggesting changes. The 2020 Vision Task Force listened carefully and then incorporated numerous revisions. The final vision and goals and strategies for achieving it are summarized inside.
Nothing happens unless first a dream.
These words of poet Carl Sandburg capture something essential about the human spirit. They also reflect our community. In short, if we wish to create a better place to live, we must first envision that place. That's the purpose of Flagstaff 2020, a community visioning process by and for the people of greater Flagstaff. For more than a year, the 2020 visioning process has engaged thousands of community members in thinking about where our community is today, where we want it to be in the future, and how we can get there.
