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
We are gathering input across Chelan and Douglas Counties to help guide priorities and projects for the next five years. Your perspective will help shape what comes next.
The release of the community’s second five-year Action Plan culminates a 15-month process that saw input from 2,040 community members crafted into actionable projects and programs by six citizen committees.
The 2022-26 Action Plan includes nine “game-changer” initiatives, 86 other projects and programs, and more than 80 lead partnering organizations — spread across six focus areas.
The community’s first five-year Action Plan was released in January 2017 following two years of outreach, visioning and planning work. In 2015-16, more than 3,000 residents in Chelan and Douglas counties offered input, including 23 percent who self-identified as Latino.
