Community Research & Resources
Envision provides a professionally facilitated community planning process that develops a shared vision based on common ground.
We assess current trends, identify opportunities for positive change, and develop projects to make the visions a reality.
Our Planning Tools help community members and leaders understand current and future needs to get involved in our projects.
Envision Process
We have engaged thousands of citizens in Chaffee County since 2016 to create and attain a shared Community Vision for the future.
