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., Rome, GA, and Gainesville-Hall County, GA.
EnVision 2030
Envision 2030 grew out of a special leadership summit held in March 2006,
in which more than 100 diverse community leaders learned about community
visioning, heard from the chair of the Gainesville-Hall County visioning
process and voted overwhelmingly to begin a similar process for Cumming-Forsyth County.
