Finding Pathways to a Better Future

We should listen and consider citizen priorities through town hall gatherings, citizen advisory commission reports and a consumer friendly website. Expediting information flow and dialogue between citizens and city government will foster trust between the city and citizens.

Planning for our Future

We should encourage innovative partnerships to promote affordable housing in an effort to maintain our small town character. Land use and transportation planning go hand in hand with providing appropriate development to meet our housing and business needs.

Consequences of Climate Change

We must remain vigilant in preparation for catastrophic wildfire, severe weather events, drought and other consequences of climate change and build upon existing programs that help us adapt and mitigate potential chaos.

Our Parks, Our Identity

We must endeavor to maintain our parks and outdoor open spaces. The diverse and fragile ecosystems in and around Ashland depend on proper stewardship and in turn enhance the experience of visitors and residents alike. Maintaining these are essential to our well-being.
