Planning for the Future
In 2021, San Juan County undertook a process to plan for initiatives to Build a Better Community over the coming years. In a six-month process, community members, elected leaders, and staff identified opportunities to continue the progress in our county.
The process started with brainstorming and hundreds of ideas. From there, the list was refined, then ranked by feasibility, fiscal impact, time requirements and other factors. The top 20 initiatives were identified and ordered by time frame for substantial completion.
In September of 2021, the San Juan County Commission adopted the list of initiatives to be undertaken over the next 5 years.
The initiatives are placed in four categories focusing on People, Place, Economy, and Relations. Each pillar is important for a wholistic-approach to a healthy community.
The initiatives will be a focal-point for County staff, however, these may morph to better fit the needs of the community.
