throughout the process

Community visioning is the process of developing consensus about what future the community wants, and then deciding what is necessary to achieve it. A vision statement:

community
Captures the shared image of what community members want their
community to become.
Inspires community members to work together to achieve the vision. Source: Municipal Research and Services Center
