On December 18th, 2018, City Council passed a resolution formally adopting a new Vision Statement and Strategic Priorities for the City of Fountain. This will lay out the city’s priorities through 2021, and is the next to last step in the process of updating the City Strategy.
To create the new Vision Statement and Strategic Priorities, City Council participated in three public Strategy Planning Work-sessions, as well as multiple one-on one meetings with City staff, to identify, develop and coordinate the new Vision Statement and Strategic Priorities. The City also solicited community feedback during work sessions, on the City website, and through the City Facebook page.
With the adoption of this resolution, the City is ready to complete the Strategy, which will be published and available to the public in early 2019.
City Council Strategic Priorities through year 2021:
Strategic Priority: Improve the conditions of City-wide transportation infrastructure in order to support enhanced road safety, encourage economic development and improve traffic flow, focused principally on major City transportation corridors, then residential areas.
