Action Plans
Our Valley Our Future is most known for our 5-year Action Plans. These are developed from thousands of residents providing insights and feedback through surveys, listening sessions, and interviews. Then the qualitative data is analyzed and reviewed by subject-matter experts as part of our Action Teams to narrow in on the Game Changers and Action Items for the new 5-year Action Plan.
With each Action Plan, OVOF provides backbone support through active working group facilitation, research and reports, community events, and communication. We help bring public, private, and non-profit organizations together to further the ideas crafted by residents in our Action Plan.
2027-2031 Action Plan
