Vision 2030 To Set Future Vision

The next phase of the Vision 2030 Project gets underway on Saturday during a four-hour summit in the Student Union Building at North Idaho College. Anyone with an interest in shaping the future of Coeur d’Alene is invited to attend the summit - organizers say you do not have to be a city resident to participate in the process. “The word ‘anyone’ is meaningful,” organizers said in a press release. “Here is who should consider coming: You live in Coeur d’Alene, or you work in Coeur d’Alene but live in Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, etc., or you only play in Coeur d’Alene but live and work elsewhere.” Project coordinator Nicole Kahler said the goal is to include as many stakeholders as possible/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press.

DFO: Gotta admit … I haven’t paid too much attention to Vision 2030 Project because I thought it was an exercise in futility if Souza & Co. had taken over City Hall. Now I consider it extremely valuable in providing a vision for the future of our wonderful city.

Question: How many of the candidates for mayor and council in the recent CDA election who claimed they really, really want to unite the community and do good things will attend the CDA 2030 Community Vision Summit event on Saturday?
