The Heart & Soul Process
Our 4 Phase Process…
Imagine: Get organized and prepared
A dedicated group of local volunteers started working in 2019 with our sponsors and funders to bring this project to life.
In 2020, we were awarded a grant from the South Mountain Partnership, and volunteers worked diligently throughout the pandemic to ensure that the project would be ready to take flight in early 2021. These volunteers represent a cross section of our community, and are eager to connect with you to make the project a success.
Connect: Listen to the Community
We started this phase of the project in spring 2021.
Whether you’ve lived here a few months, or as long as you can remember, we are eager to hear YOUR unique story.
What brought you here?
Why do you stay?
What do you love most about this place
When you think about the future here, what are your hopes and dreams?
Plan: Uncover Our Shared Values
There are things we all love about this community that are easy to identify - like Farmer’s Fair!
But, among our many voices, backgrounds, and experiences, there are other common values we all share.
In this phase of the project we will study all of the information we’ve gathered by listening to the community’s unique stories, uncover our shared values, and lift them up as beacons for the future.
Act: Turn ideas into action plans
Working together with local governments, businesses and fellow community groups, we will identify key opportunities for development and cooperation.
We will turn these ideas over to local government, businesses, and other local organizations for them to use as research and inspiration for their future planning.
We can’t wait to see where the journey leads our community.
Stay in touch. Join the team.
We know there are others who already work hard to make this a great place to live, work, play, and learn.
We’d love to have you join our team!
