Salem Vision 2020 Action Plan - Bringing the vision to life
Salem Vision 2020 is a collection of ideas, energy and projects from a wide representation of the Salem community. Thoughtful reflection, creativity, and enthusiasm of those living, working, studying, and playing in Salem’s City Center have led to this unique collaboration and these 24 projects. Your contributions - participation in neighborhood or community meetings, surveys, sponsorship, and commitment to continued involvement - have created the necessary momentum and action to bring Salem Vision 2020 to life.
Community Outreach: Getting to the Projects
Salem Vision 2020 is all about tomorrow. More than a thousand Salem residents have joined the process.
 Generating Ideas - Forming the Vision:
On December 5, 2007, some 280 area residents met at the Salem Conference Center to discuss their shared vision for the downtown – what they like, and what’s missing Salem Vision 2020 Community Forum - (CCTV select 12/05/07) .

What is a City Center? A city center creates jobs and attracts new businesses. It contributes to the unique character of our city. The city center provides a gathering place for cultural activity and serves as a hub to connect people, cars, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit. Listen to what people said on a CCTV special assignment - select 2007, Vision 2020 Word on the Street - 11/15/07.
Salem Vision 2020 is a community-wide process that will help shape the future of the city center, the area that includes the downtown and West Salem business districts, plus the Capitol Mall and Willamette University and Salem Hospital campuses. Learn what people said in the first survey. |
