West Peoria's Strategic Visioning Program

 

As a small community looking to engage in its own development and improve the quality of life of the area, West Peoria

residents have decided to be pro-active. In 2006, West Peoria was engaged in the Mapping the Future of Your Community

Program. MAPPING (Management And Planning Programs Involving Non-Metropolitan Groups) is a two-phase program aimed

at improving local decision making capabilities for community and economic development. During the first phase of the program,

a broadly representative group of residents and local leaders are led through a series of visioning, team-building, and planning

exercises. As a result, concerned residents have comprised a vision for the community’s future, a set of prioritized long-range

goals, and related short-term action steps. The second phase of the MAPPING Program consists of the community realizing

and achieving its goals through successful implementation of the locally supported projects. The challenge ahead for West

Peoria is to put their plans into action in the months and years to come. It is wonderful to see a community really take charge

of its future to pursue a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous community!
