Imagine Greater Tucson (IGT) is a community-based effort dedicated to protecting and enhancing our quality of life in the greater Tucson region. Our goal is to involve the people in the Greater Tucson Region in creating a shared vision for our region’s future, and develop strategies to realize this vision.
Working from community conversations held in 2010 and the compilation of existing trends, Imagine Greater Tucson found that growth projections are at odds with 66 overall "Shared Regional Values"". Last spring, more than 600 people attended mapping workshops to share their vision for what they want the future of the region to look like based on these values. Several key themes emerged from the public workshops that supported: (1) More infill and density near urban centers, (2) An interest in mixed-use developments that promote a lifestyle of more bicycling and walking opportunities to work, schools, and amenities and (3) Conservation of our desert environment.
Now is a critical time to participate in IGT. Using keypad polling technology, participants in the highly interactive presentation at the WRRC will share views on a preferred future for the region, how it should grow, and what is important to consider regarding land use. This phase only lasts until February 29th, so be sure to attend! The information gathered will be used to develop a community vision for local jurisdictions to consider incorporating into their respective general or comprehensive plans.
