Vision

Vision 2028 is a living document intended to reflect the priorities of Lake County's residents and communities, and the Board of Supervisors' commitment to see beyond immediate challenges and build a brighter future. The current version (updated May 4, 2021) can be found on the Vision 2028 page.

Ongoing & Recent Visioning Activities

Next Round of Community Visioning Forums Coming Soon

Residents from Lake County's richly diverse communities watched on Tuesday, February 23, 2021, as the Lake County Board of Supervisors unanimously proclaimed "Promoting Tolerance, Respect, Equity and Inclusion" among their utmost priorities - view the Proclamation Video on YouTube.

This historic moment culminated significant community efforts, and was punctuated by each Supervisor reading a portion of the Proclamation, and affirming their commitment to host Community Visioning Forums to unearth priorities in the following categories:

  • Meaningful actions and activities that will build bridges where there may be walls (NOTE: make the list bullet points, as it currently appears)
  • Fostering tolerance, respect, understanding, equity and inclusion
  • Promoting non-violence and non-violent conflict resolution
  • Focusing resources on underlying causes and conditions that lead to inequitable resource and justice distribution
  • Relevant solutions for any social injustices, as they may come to light

Community members and leaders from the County of Lake, Cities of Lakeport and Clearlake and Tribal governments that resonated with the Board's Proclamation have joined the new Countywide Community Visioning Forum Planning Committee.

We are very excited Nicole Anderson and Associates Consulting, LLC, has been retained to facilitate the Forums, and they are already hard at work further organizing stakeholder groups.

Background
Hundreds of Lake County residents participated in the initial round of Community Visioning Forums in January 2018. They shared ideas, priorities and needs. The community's vision revealed a path forward for the next ten years. Tuesday, April 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors took a powerful step toward a brighter future, approving Vision 2028.

Since April 2018, County leaders have been collaborating, internally and alongside City partners and community leaders, to help Lake County face and see beyond our immediate challenges. The Lake County Economic Development Strategy, a collaborative effort with Lake County Economic Development Corporation and Workforce Alliance of the North Bay, was adopted in early 2019 by the County and cities.

April 22 to May 30, 2019, the County's Department of Health Services, Public Health Division, in partnership with Hope Rising and other local agencies and community organizations, hosted "Health and Wellness Forums" throughout the County. These Forums gathered information toward a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). Many participated, either live or via the County's Facebook page. An edited video will soon be made available on the County's YouTube and Facebook channels, compiling presentations and public comments.

Lake County is strongest when we partner to lift up those in need, and when we inspire our neighbors to overcome any and all barriers and shine.

Vision 2028 is more than a set of priorities. It is a commitment to face and see beyond immediate challenges.
