More About Cottage Grove 2037

Cottage Grove 2037 is a community-wide visioning process sponsored by the City of Cottage Grove and many other community organizations.  The ultimate goal of Cottage Grove 2037 is to set a road map for the future with input from those that live, work and play here.  It is an opportunity for the community to shape the kind of community we and future generations will be proud to call home.  It is not a CITY plan, but rather a COMMUNITY plan, with responsibility for development and implementation shared among a wide range of local partners and supporters.

The target date for “bringing the full vision to life” is 2037, the City’s 150th birthday.  However, it is anticipated that many of the proposed actions will get underway upon completion of the 1-year planning process.  Citizens will give shape to the Cottage Grove 2037 emphasis areas by defining priorities for education, community-building, economic prosperity, arts and culture and many other topics.

Cottage Grove 2037 outreach will be designed and facilitated by the award-winning visioning consultant, Barney & Worth, under the guidance of a citizen-based Steering Committee.  The Steering Committee has made it a priority to hear from as many community members as possible.  This will be done through speakers bureau presentations, town hall-style meetings, surveys and many other outreach efforts.  These activities are scheduled to take place between August 2007 and June 2008.
