Visioning 2025 Visioning 2025 is the City’s 20-year strategic plan for long-term growth and development. It was designed with recommendations from citizen forums and stakeholder groups before its adoption by the City Council in 2005.

The City has been working for the past three years toward aligning its performance measures, business plans and operations with the Visioning plan. In spring 2007, the City identified key projects that have been started or completed within the 2007-08 fiscal year. The Visioning 2025 Plan is a living document that is used by departments throughout City government. Some of the strategies put to use in fiscal year 2007-08 include: • Community Surveys • Councilmember Town Hall Meetings • BalloonaPalooza II • The design of a City Waste Water Reclamation Facility and site acquisition • Completion of the community design for Craig Ranch Regional Park • Development of the Downtown Master Plan • Implementation of the Mixed-Use Ordinance The Visioning 2025 process, which includes continuous outreach and communication with the public, has earned the City a Certificate of Achievement Award from the International City/County Management Association for three years in a row. The award, presented to North Las Vegas in 2005, 2006 and 2007, recognizes the City for its reporting of performance data to the public through budgets, newsletters and information provided to elected officials.
