Please leave this form with us <br />before leaving or mail us your comments to: <br />City of Louisville <br />749 Main Street <br />Louisville, CO 80027 <br />Attn. Paul Wood <br />Thank you! <br />Draft Vision <br />Louisville is a family- oriented community that blends a small town <br />atmosphere with a progressive outlook. Its historic downtown, livable <br />neighborhoods, quality parks and recreational facilities, vibrant <br />commercial districts, and 1700 -acre comprehensive system of open lands <br />and trails set Louisville apart from cities in the northwest Denver region. <br />Louisville will maintain a balanced, sustainable economic position in the <br />region, providing diverse investment opportunities for new and existing <br />businesses and diverse housing opportunities for residents. Louisville will <br />have a multi -modal transportation system that is integrated with existing <br />and future land use to support a range of safe and efficient ways to travel. <br />The City of Louisville will strive to provide public facilities as a means to <br />create a stronger community identity and encourage active community <br />participation. <br />Louisville will continue to be a community with a rich heritage that values <br />education, celebrates cultural diversity, and respects the natural <br />environment. Residents will have opportunities to be well- informed and <br />involved in the future of their community. <br />The City's comprehensive plan will embody the values of its residents and <br />will provide a proactive direction for change as it inevitably occurs. As a <br />small -town in a rapidly- urbanizing, increasingly- interdependent region, the <br />effective and efficient cooperative use of limited resources (whether <br />financial, societal, or natural) and proactive collaboration with local, <br />county, and regional governments will enable Louisville to achieve this <br />vision. <br />
