Youth advisory presents 2050 vision emphasizing access, infrastructure and local jobs
Summary
The youth advisory council drafted a 2050 vision calling for a diverse, accessible community with strong public spaces, transportation options and opportunities to live and work locally; committee members suggested wording refinements.
Committee members reported that the newly formed youth advisory council met and drafted a 2050 vision. The moderator read the youth-crafted language: "a community that is accommodating and supportive to a diverse spectrum of residents, has tremendous access to public spaces, and is well served by infrastructure and a variety of transportation systems." The council's work focused on what would make young people stay in town as adults.
Participants suggested tightening grammar and clarifying terms such as "community gathers" and whether the statement should emphasize future goals (2050) or both current and future aspirations. Several members recommended a phrasing that makes clear the vision is a 20-year goal tied to the comprehensive plan.
