Community Visioning

The city embarked upon a citizen-driven visioning process to create its community vision, adopted in 2007. This report details the four-part public process used to engage residents and gather input in shaping the vision; provides the vision itself, comprising  13 vision statements accompanied by 41 goals, one for each vision subtopic; and lays out a detailed action plan for implementing the community's vision that identifies responsible entities for each action step. The city has consolidated information about the initial 2008 vision process, as well as its 2015 visioning update, on its "RE-Visioning Columbia" webpage.
