Envision Cache Valley - Vision Summit

The Envision Cache Valley process and project, initiated in February 2009, included efforts by students and faculty in Utah State University’s Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Department. The project engaged area residents in a process that explored valley-wide growth issues.

 

The culmination of the early work is presented in a “Vision Summit” Tuesday, Oct. 13, 7 p.m., at  the Logan LDS Tabernacle, 50 N. Main, Logan. Everyone is invited.

 

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert will attend the summit.

 

“Did you know that our region’s population is expected to double by 2040?” summit organizers said. “In this face of this growth, what future do we imagine for our children and grandchildren?”

 

The Envision Cache Valley process engaged Cache County, Utah, and Franklin County, Idaho, residents. The public process began Feb. 25, 2009, with a Growth Summit and was followed by nine public workshops, 14 additional town hall meetings, and two online surveys. An independent poll confirmed the information shared through public meetings and the online surveys. A steering committee crafted a vision inspired by and created from public input. To date, more than 2,600 citizens have participated.

 

The Vision Summit marks the culmination of public events surrounding the Envision Cache Valley visioning process.
