H-GAC publishes ‘Vision for Tomorrow’

Regional comprehensive plan

David Crossley, Jan 04, 12.

The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) recently published Vision for Tomorrow, a regional comprehensive plan based on emerging issues, opportunities, trends and local values for the H-GAC region.

The vision represents a shared ideal for the region in 2035, moving beyond jurisdictional boundaries and encompassing the needs of rural, suburban and urban areas alike.

The document is also intended to provide a guiding framework by identifying specific priorities, actions and available tools that can move the region toward its desired goals.

It is organized into four categories that stem from the general themes of the vision: Built Environment, Natural Environment, Quality of Life and Economy. Vision for Tomorrow was prepared by the H-GAC Board of Directors Planning Committee, in coordination with H-GAC staff.
The publication is available online. For print copies, contact Sandra McKnight at 713-993-2461.

[Note: H-GAC is also leading a 3-year 13-county process to create a Regional Plan for Sustainable Development.
