Thank you to all the residents who shared their ideas, expectations, and priorities for OV’s future. Over 8,900 contributions were provided through surveys, online discussions, and events. All resident responses form the foundational building blocks to create the community’s next 10-year action plan, known as OV’s Path Forward.
Draft Vision and Guiding Principles
The first step in creating the plan is capturing what residents value and prioritize in a draft vision statement and guiding principles. For instance, having more things to do and keeping OV safe were top priorities consistent across all survey responses, online discussions, and event comments. Appreciation for the natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle, and strong sense of community were also highly valued.
In addition to the draft vision statement [panel on right], there are 13 guiding principles aimed at capturing residents’ top priorities related to public safety, water, housing, development, and more. Together, the draft vision and guiding principles set the framework for the plan and will guide the goals, policies, and actions that produce real results in the community.
