The Vision Statement provides the aspiration, rationale and framework on <br /> which the community policies and objectives are presented in the Comprehensive Plan and <br /> ultimately that should be adopted into regulation in the Louisville Municipal Code. <br /> Comprehensive Plan Louisvile Municiple Code <br /> Staff believes that the current Vision Statement can be communicated more clearly by <br /> simplifying the statement to focus on the essence of the community's aspirations, then <br /> expanding and illustrating each element of the Vision through clearly stated Core Values. <br /> The Vision Statement should provide a concise summary of what the City of Louisville is today <br /> and wishes to achieve in the future. According to the National Civic League Press, the <br /> ingredients of a Vision Statement should include: <br /> • Positive Present Tense Language <br /> • Qualities that provide a feeling for the City's uniqueness <br /> • Inclusiveness of the City's diverse population and their aspirations <br /> • A focus on people and quality of life <br />
