More than 100 residents dedicated their time and voices to the second phase of creating the community’s next 10-year action plan, known as OV’s Path Forward Phase 2—“Let’s Think”—began in January and involved four Resident Working Groups. These groups used insights gathered from a community survey, more than 90 pop-up events, and online feedback to draft goals, policies, and actions related to traffic, housing, development, views, parks, and more.
Turning the community’s vision into reality
In Phase 1—“Let’s Talk”—residents shared their values, priorities, and expectations for Oro Valley’s future. That input was captured in a vision statement and guiding principles. The goals, policies, and actions developed in Phase 2 are the next steps in turning that vision into reality.
Resident Working Groups were open to all who wanted to help shape OV’s future. Approximately 107 residents participated, drafting 31 goals, 82 policies, and over 230 actions that reflect the voices of Phase 1.
The Resident Working Groups will continue refining the draft goals, policies, and actions to ensure they accurately reflect the community’s vision. Over the summer, the web-based plan will continue to evolve with the addition of images, maps, and more.
A complete draft of the plan will be released later this fall, inviting all residents to review it and ensure it represents the community’s voice.
