Page 2 of 3 Pickens County citizens have crafted a vision plan to give our community a road map to our future, a vital step toward a more prosperous and vibrant community. By giving citizens a voice and a stake in their future, the community has made a conscious decision to control the direction and charter of the growth we see coming to our county. The plan was developed under the guidance of a steering committee comprised of 43 area citizens. Through a nine-step process which included gathering citizen input through five town hall meetings, twelve focus group sessions, eighteen individual interviews, mail-in and online-based input, goals for the community were offered by citizens. Taking the citizen input, the information was processed by our community vision consulting company, Carpe Diem Community Solutions Inc. Five major themes emerged as major goal areas for our county. They are:
The 89 prioritized objectives in the give focus groups will be given to the Implementation Leadership Team to use in developing Vision Partnerships and Alliances. Prospective Vision Partners will include institutions, governmental entities, municipalities, companies, non-profit organizations, individuals and associations. The Vision Partners and Alliances will be asked to support one or more of the 90 objectives of the vision plan as the objectives are brought up for implementation.
