The Vision Statem nt and Core Com nity Values The 20 Year Plan for the City of Louisville has two pri- m ry components which guide the direction and im le - m ntation of the 2012 Com rehensive Plan Update. The first keycom onent is the Vision Statem nt and Core Comm nity Values. The Vision Statem nt and Core Com nity Values are supported by the second key com onent, the Fram work Plan. Louisville's Vision Statem nt and Core Com nity Values define how the City sees itself and identify characteristics that should be carried into the future. The Vision Statem nt and Core Com nity Values were developed through extensive public outreach and represent the views of residents, business and property owners, and elected and appointed offi ials. The Vision Statem nt and Core Com nity Values serve as the rubric against which the Fram work Plan was devel- oped and how future City policies and decisions should be evaluated. All of the recom ndations, principles, and policies in this Com rehensive Plan are designed to further the goals of the Vision Statem nt and Core Com m nity Values. The Framework Plan illustrates Louisville's com nity character and developm nt expectations verbalized in the Vision Statem nt and Core Com nity Values. Together, the Vision Statem nt and Core Com nity Values visualized by the Fram work Plan represent the long-range integrated land use, transportation and natu- ral resource vision for the City. 17 tretti Vision Statem nt Established in 1878, the City of Louisville is an inclusive, fam ly-friendly com nity that m nages its continued growth by blending a forward -thinking outlook with a sm II -town atm sphere which engages its citizenry and provides a walkable com nity form that enables social interaction. The City strives to preserve and enhance the high quality of life it offers to those who live, work, and spend tim in the com nity. Louisville retains con- nections to the City's m dest m ning and agricultural beginnings while continuing to trans- form into one of the m st livable, innovative, and econom cally diverse com nities in the United States. The structure and operation of the City will ensure an open and responsive governm nt which integrates regional cooperation and citizen volunteerism with a broad range of high-quality and cost-effective services. 59 Louisville, Colorado
