COMMUNITY VISION STUDY / ACTION TEAM
“Smart
Growth” changes the focus of the development debate
away from the traditional growth / no growth question
to how and where should new development options be
accommodated.
“Placemaking” is not about attracting people to
the area,
it is about providing the community with great places to
enjoy the community and each other.
GOALS OF THE COMMUNITY VISION STUDY / ACTION
TEAM:
The focus of this Team is to “claim” the
character of the Conifer community, as determined by
community residents, and the development of strategies to
preserve and enhance that character and the heritage of the
Conifer area.
●This
Team will gather information regarding future plans and
development for the Conifer area from Jefferson County and
other means.
•Using
this information, along with input from the community,
(including the “Conifer / 285 Corridor Area Community
Plan”, “Claiming Conifer’s
Character” Community Survey, future conversations and
surveys) the Team will assist in facilitating the
communication of a more specific detailed plan for the
Conifer area to include future development, open space,
trails and public places.
•The
Team will identify current “Public Places” and
how they might be enhanced and possible new “Public
Places.”
•The
Team will develop concepts and strategies for a “Main
Street Loop.”
•The
Team will work with other community organizations such as
artist guilds, local service organizations, schools,
churches, to encourage ideas, funding and maintenance for
“Public Places” and other community
opportunities.
•Meanwhile,
the Team will coordinate efforts and communicate with
Jefferson County and the Conifer community.
