about the plan
The Chenango County 2050 Vision Plan is meant to replace the former vision plan, originally written in 1992. Chenango County is ready to create a new vision for the County in response to a post-COVID-19 world, addressing new technology and infrastructure needs, as well as a push to be more sustainable through implementation of the New York State 2022 Climate Action Plan.
With increasing amounts of funding opportunities available, now is the time to create an aggressive vision of projects and initiatives to spur Chenango County growth and prosperity into 2050. The goal of the Vision Plan is to help guide future decision-making at the County level and serve as a resource for local governments and agencies by identifying key goals, strategies, and actions to enhance economic development, environmental sustainability, and personal services county-wide.
WHAT IS A VISION PLAN?
A vision plan gives a community the opportunity to come together and define goals, policies and strategies for the future that align with the needs and desires of a community as a whole. Vision plans can look ahead five years, up to 25 years into the future. Similar to a comprehensive plan, a vision plan will provide long-term guidance on future land use, transportation, economic development, infrastructure, and growth patterns. The goals and strategies identified in vision plans will be the basis for future funding opportunities, new programs, etc.
