Visioning
Community vision relates to the overall tone and direction
  for the Master Plan. Key words can be used to establish a
vision for District 4 that is based on shared community

values and describes what is desired in the future.
The Visioning Exercise provided an opportunity to obtain
  input on key words for developing a vision statement that
  will guide development of the District 4 Master Plan. The
exercise included a list of Values, Assets, and Adjectives,
and participants were asked to circle their top choices for
  each category. The top three Values chosen were Beach
Access, Quality Neighborhoods, and Schools. The top

three Assets chosen were Family-Oriented, Attractive, and

Welcoming.
The top three Adjectives chosen were Safety, Sense of Community, and Sustainability.
