The plan also focuses on providing a safe and efficient transportation system, developing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, ensuring adequate utilities and community facilities, and offering diverse housing options. Economic development is prioritized through attracting and retaining businesses, while fostering intergovernmental cooperation. The vision is to balance economic growth with character preservation, create vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, minimize environmental impacts, and become a model for sustainable development practices.
