SUBMITTED TO THE

CACHE VALLEY REGIONAL COUNCIL

MISSION STATEMENT

Living in Cache Valley is a privilege that carries with it the responsibility to assure that future generations have similar opportunities. As current residents, we have a steward-ship to preserve and enhance the Valley’s natural resources, sense of community, and economic vitality. Although individuals may differ about short-term solutions, our values converge as we look further into the future. We all want to breath clean air, drink pure water, continue to enjoy the beauty of Cache Valley, provide for the economic and educational needs of our families, live together as an inclusive society, and be governed wisely and efficiently. 

Cache Vision 2020+ is a partnership between the Cache County Council, Franklin County Commission, and Cache Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of developing strategies to guide decision-makers to the year 2020 and beyond. The first goal of Cache Vision 2020+ is to identify areas of special concern and make recommendations that will improve the quality of life in the Valley. The second is to promote the implementation of those recommendations. In the process of achieving these two goals, it is also intended that the citizens of Cache Valley will become more aware of their need to work together to achieve our common goals. 

The focus of Cache Vision 2020+ will be on the issues shown on the attached chart. Separate committees will be organized to consider each topic. These committees will involve a broad range of participants who have the needed technical skills and varied social perspectives. Committee members will be encouraged to think strategically and creatively about the issues and the strategies they will recommend.
