This new report includes all Action Plan changes made since May 2000 including those revisions which resulted from the fi rst Strategy Review process. In order for the Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan to remain a viable and effective guide for shaping our community’s future, it is important to keep the Action Plan “tuned-up.” Nothing is constant but change. Community resources and priorities fl uctuate over time. To keep our community’s vision on track, it is important to adapt to the current environment while keeping our focus on the desired outcome. To this end, the Vision Implementation Committee has three processes in place to allow revisions to the Action Plan. Annually the Committee reviews and, if appropriate, recommends minor modifi cations to the Action Plan. Any new action proposals are also considered on an annual basis. Every fi fth year, a major Strategy Review process is conducted to identify proposed strategy additions and revisions. To help preserve the integrity of the original plan, which was developed with extensive community involvement, this process includes a city-wide citizen outreach effort to solicit and review new proposals for implementing the original Vision Statement.

  • Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan Originally Adopted by the Hillsboro City Council in May 2000
    Vision and Action Plan Revised August 2010 January 1, 2011 On behalf of the Hillsboro 2020 Vision Implementation Committee (VIC), it is my pleasure to present this update of the Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan originally adopted by the Hillsboro City Council in May 2000. The current version of the report incorporates all Action Plan changes made since May 2000 and new community priorities identified during last year’s Strategy Review process. To ensure the Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan continues to serve as a relevant and effective guide for shaping our future, the citizen-lead Vision Implementation Committee (VIC) conducts periodic “tune-ups.” As our population changes over time, so do our resources, goals and priorities. To keep the community vision on track, it is important to adapt to the current environment while keeping our focus on the end goal - a community all of us, and future generations, are proud to call home. To this end, the VIC has established several formal processes by which the public and our partners can amend or update the Action Plan. The VIC reviews and, if appropriate, recommends minor modifications to the Action Plan on an annual basis. If submitted, new action proposals are also considered annually. Every five years, the VIC also conducts a major Strategy Review process to actively solicit new ideas or necessary refinements. To help preserve the integrity of the original plan, which was developed with extensive community involvement, this process includes a city-wide citizen outreach effort to solicit and review new proposals for implementing the original Vision Statement.
