 
VISION STATEMENT & IDEAS
Thousands of Coastal Bend residents gave their opinions and ideas on how best to reach our BoldFuture. The Vision Summit
in February 2009 resulted in the BoldFuture Vision and Ideas, validated by the BoldFuture sponsors, ambassadors and advisors. The Vision Action Plan
is based on these vision ideas.

Vision for the Community
WE ENVISION a vibrant, prosperous Coastal Bend that balances
its growth and quality of life, blending big city attractions with a
small town feel. Building on a diverse mix of industry and small
businesses, our economy provides an abundance of family wage
jobs and opportunities for our youth. Access to excellent education,
from early childhood to graduate programs, prepares our students
for learning, for work and for life. The ‘best and brightest’ are
increasingly drawn to — and remain in — our community.
Coastal Bend growth is well planned, with vital urban areas, ample
parks and open spaces, excellent transportation and modern
infrastructure. We have great pride of place in our redeveloped
downtowns, revitalized Bayfront, lively commercial centers
across the region, and safe, clean neighborhoods. Our region is
more “green-minded” and sustainable than ever, committed to
conservation and recycling, protecting our natural resources,
coastline and beaches and producing alternative energy.
Our residents enjoy active, wholesome lifestyles, increasing
individual and community wellness. We celebrate our diverse
heritage and enjoy a culture rich in music, arts and entertainment.
Citizens are engaged in and proud of their communities. Forwardthinking
elected officials and business and community leaders
work together for the best interests of the region. Together,
we are unified behind a shared vision and have forged greater
collaboration in achieving our BoldFuture for the Coastal Bend. |
