Vision 2030 seeks input about Routt County region

Vision 2030 Citizens’ Committee is seeking community input about “heart and soul” aspects of the Routt County region. These aspects define the character of our community. Identifying them is vital to updating recommendations from the 1994 Vision 2020 Report and successfully stewarding our values from one generation to the next.

Visit the Vision 2030 project Web site at www.vision2030routt.org to share your thoughts through an online survey.
