Mission and Vision

 

Our mission is to help realize, in conjunction with other City stakeholders and players,  a sustainable Burlington by 2030.  This includes high quality education for all, a healthy natural environment, strong economic growth, and a commitment to  social equity.  This vision is outlined in the Legacy Action Plan and reflects the input of hundreds of residents and others including business, non-profits, and government representatives.   

Five major themes emerged during the Legacy Planning process.  These are reflected throughout the Legacy Action Plan and include: 

  • maintaining Burlington as a regional population, government, cultural, and economic center with livable wage jobs, full employment, social supports, and housing that matches job growth and family income
  • improving the quality of life in neighborhoods
  • increasing participation in community decision-making
  • providing youth with high-quality education and social supports, and lifelong learning opportunities for all
  • preserving environmental health
