CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLANNING VISION
STATEMENT
April 29, 2006
CONSOLIDATED VERSION
In twenty years, the City of Snohomish will
thrive both economically and environmentally as a balanced and sustainable
community that will maintain a strong sense of community with qualities of life
that include:
 |
Creating a vibrant regional center and economic framework that attracts people
to Snohomish to live, shop and work. |
|
Offering a family friendly environment for people of all ages with: |
§
Supportive services and a safe and
healthy environment for our children to thrive;
|
Shopping and entertainment for all ages; |
§
Parks and recreation opportunities
for all.
|
Maintaining our historic district as a major tourism destination that also
provides goods, services and housing attractive to many local residents. |
|
Becoming an increasingly diverse community by age, economic status and
ethnicity, providing a richness that strengthens the community: |
§
Creating an environment conducive
to sustaining an eclectic community of citizens supported by the City to enjoy
their unique qualities of life;
§
Offering affordable housing, well
paying jobs and an economically sustainable lifestyle for all.
|
Encouraging the highest level of citizen empowerment in and communication with
city government and proactively leveraging partnerships and volunteerism to
ensure that community needs for services are met with the highest quality,
timely delivery and affordability. |
|
Developing systems for a safe and sustainable pedestrian-oriented community,
with sidewalks and a network of trails throughout the City as well as stronger
bus, rail and bicycle connections with the wider region. |
|
Developing a truly modern infrastructure including technology, utilities,
streets and parks. |
|
Being a community where visitors and residents experience Snohomish to be
unlike any other Snohomish County city and when they enter it, feel that they
have encountered a physically well-defined community: |
§
Reflecting a balance between
traditional and contemporary requirements and changes (keeping pace with current
reality while maintaining unique character and history);
§
Providing environmental stewardship
and enhancing access to its natural environment including its beautiful rivers;
§
Maintaining the heritage of the
built environment – both residential and commercial.
