Abstract

Since 1999 over 7000 residents in nine Ohio communities have engaged in sustainable community visioning processes designed and facilitated by the Ohio State University Extension faculty. These initiatives sought to identify and articulate each community's unique set of shared values through which the diverse populations of each community contribute to the formulation of a vision of the desired future. This shared vision balances and interconnects the social, environmental and economic interests of the community and is subsequently used to establish goals that guide local planning efforts. Since all sectors of the communities are consulted, the resulting plans are widely understood, supported and broadly implemented within the community. Applying a methodology based on the four cornerstones of sustainability results in a community vision and plan that supports sustainable actions and outcomes.
