The community-driven Vision and Values project will progress and evolve through 2021, culminating in a Vision and Values statement that lays the foundation for Falmouth’s next Comprehensive Plan.
The Values and Vision project and the Comprehensive Plan are important avenues through which the residents of the Town can shape and inform the long-term development and direction of the community.
The Comprehensive Plan is a planning tool that directs future development in Falmouth and provides long term guidance through sections such as Land Use ordinances.
The first step is Community Survey #1 which is exploring issues and thoughts about the current and future direction of the community.
The questions in the Community Survey #1 were created with significant resident input.
The results of Survey #1 will be used to help provide direction and content for the Vision and Values statement.
A 20% response rate (> 2,000 respondents) would be ideal. As of Jan 5, 2021, we have over 900 responses.
We are seeking help in completing the survey and getting neighbors to do the same. It takes only 15-20 minutes.
This project is truly ‘Community-Driven’
‘Community-driven’ means that during each phase of the Vision and Values project, Falmouth resident input (including Community Connectors) will help shape future meeting materials and discussions.
Residents (including Community Connectors) will help facilitate various focus groups and meetings.
We want people to stay informed and participate. People can sign up directly at the portal to receive Vision and Values related notices and updates.
There will be opportunity for resident review and input into the final Vision and Values statement.
All project-related information is stored on the portal
Various reports produced at key stages will document the community input, in an open, transparent and data-driven manner.
All summary data and results will be posted on the project portal.
