City of Belmont Visioning Program
City of Belmont, Belmont, California
MIG worked with the City of Belmont to develop and manage a visioning process that allowed the community to shape its future in advance of the City’s General Plan. MIG assisted City staff and Vision Working Groups in consolidating, summarizing and integrating available information into a common base for all participants in the process and conducted training sessions for Working Group members to build participants’ skills in community outreach, facilitation and group processes. MIG conducted a Community Vision Festival to engage the community in shaping the future of Belmont. This resulted in: 1) a set of core values; 2) a shared vision; 3) definition of Belmont’s key assets and challenges; and 4) key themes and ideas that cut across issue areas.
