PDF Print E-mail

Pickens County Vision 2025 is implementing the Vision Plan presented to county residents in the fall of 2007. A twenty (20) member Implementation Team is meeting monthly to guide and oversee the process of implementing the 89 objectives in the plan. The Implementation Team members are diverse in age, gender, race, and location to represent the citizens of the county.

The members are assigned to  one of the five themes from the plan as their focus and area to work with through implementation. Chair or co-chairs head up each of the five themes to bring community groups, organizations, and individuals together as Vision Partners for the purpose of achieving each of the 89 objectives in the five focus themes.

Since the plan conveys a time line through 2025, the Vision Partners will select the individual objectives in their theme to accomplish year by year. The Vision Partners will meet and report back to the Implementation Team their progress in meeting the objectives on a regular basis. A report will be given by the Implementation Team annually on the progress in reaching the objectives.
