WHAT IS VISIONING?
Community Visioning
Community visioning is a process for engaging large numbers of citizens
in thinking about and planning their community's future. In doing
so, visioning helps create consensus, opens the door to new ideas
and strengthens citizen support for action.
Visioning itself is not a new idea - large corporations and non-profits
have been using these techniques for more than 40 years - but community
visioning became popular in the 1980s when it was used so successfully
in revitalizing Chattanooga, Tenn. Since then, hundreds of large and
small communities have used visioning, including Greenville, S.C.
and Rome, GA.
Vision 2030
Vision 2030 grew out of a special leadership summit held in March
2005, in which more than 100 diverse community leaders learned about
community visioning, heard from the chair of the Greenville, S.C.
visioning process and voted overwhelmingly to begin a similar process
for Gainesville-Hall County.
