What Would We Like Our Community To Look Like In 10 Years?

The Vision for Burlington County In the vision of the future, the citizens of Burlington County will relate to one another within a culture of personal respect for their common interests as well as their differences.

This capacity will be derived from the creation of a host of educational, social, medical, environmental and economic support systems that promote and sustain individual and collective self respect.

Citizens, together, in their private lives or in the community, whether in the workplace, marketplace, schools, religious setting, or in any other activity, will create a healthy and safe community that supports shared leadership, interconnected use of limited resources, accountability and a capacity to change.

The results will stimulate organizations to work for the long term public interest, and to ensure positive health outcomes, strong families and households, and the clean environment and open spaces needed for sound social and economic development.
