Vision Plan:

Overview

Commissioner Sara Comander
leads Vision Plan Task Force
​

Walton County is developing a Vision Plan, and all county citizens are on the committee! A vision plan is a document we, as a community, use to describe our preferred future and to chart our steps toward that future. Your involvement helps to shape our vision plan, in that the core of the plan must be what you and your neighbors jointly identify as shared values and purpose, which translates into qualitative aspects of what our community should look like socially, economically and environmentally in ten to twenty years.





What's Next

Dr. David Goetsch facilitates
discussion of vision process
​

Over the next six to eight months, there will be a series of town hall meetings in DeFuniak Springs and Freeport. You are invited to come and speak, give your experiences, and participate in the discussions.
At this time you can provide guidance to the visioning committee by emailing your comments to www.wcvision.co.walton.fl.us and visiting this webpage. See the Calendar of Events to the right to keep up with upcoming meetings regarding the Vision Plan.
















1. How can I provide input into this plan? During meetings, in writing, a personal visit with our staff or through the online survey.
2. How long is the vision plan process?
About a year. During this time, we will hold meetings, gather feedback and produce a document that will act as a guide for the future of our community.
3. What will you do with the information I provide?
We will gather and analyze citizen input to develop a long term plan or reference for the various stakeholders to use in making decisions regarding the progress of the County.

The planning group is comprised of several members of the community
including members from the Chamber, TDC, the cities, Commissioner
Comander, and some county staff. Dr. David Goetsh has volunteered to
assist in the process. Both Melinda Wickham and myself are staff for the
group/process.

If have any more questions or suggestions please give me a call. And
remember to participate in the survey.

I spoke to Jason Bryan today. He seems like he really knows his stuff. I asked if the vision program uses other information from previous visioning group, the answer was yes in a sense of comparing results from then to now.

I would encourage everyone to give him feedback and take the survey.
