Downtown Marketplace Survey

 

Imagining the Future, Working and Acting Together

Nearly 650 residents from Owensboro and across Daviess County spent a full day talking together about the future of our community. They identified values and assets to support building our future, and they prioritized strategies to move towards five goals for our 21st century community:

  1. A Community Committed to Education and Learning
  2. A Region of Opportunity and Appeal
  3. A Uniquely Green and Clean Environment
  4. A Healthy and Caring Community
  5. Citizens for Good Government

Participants worked together in small groups reviewing ideas put forth by the meeting organizers and developing new ideas. Then, using keypad polling and groupware computers, participants identified room-wide themes and collective priorities. The final report includes the ideas and priorities generated in the Town Meeting.
