Community Visioning

What's New

Coburg City Council adopted a Vision Statement in July 2017. You can find the document below or by clicking here. If you would like to look through the full Community Visioning Project Final Report, you can find the entire document at the bottom of this page. 

Responding to a need for a unique city 'tag line,' neighbors and stakeholders took a long look at uncovering what makes Coburg truly special. The resulting proposed tagline is below.

The Visioning Process

Coburg and Rural Development Initiatives worked on a collaborative process to create a 20-year Community Vision for the City. Through this visioning process, residents and businesses of the City reflected on current and potential opportunities and thought creatively about the future.  The key objectives were to:

• Produce a 20-year Vision Statement that will guide future actions and support any future Comprehensive Plan update
• Engage a broad and inclusive representation of voices in the community to ensure that the aspirations and priorities reflected in the vision are community driven
• Ensure community buy-in, awareness, and coordinate follow-up actions for the Coburg Community Vision

The Community Vision Statement generated by this process will help the community create tangible options for action.
