Community Image

What we value and preserve provides an image to people visiting or moving to our community. Community image issues can include historic preservation, community appearance, preserving the natural environment and/or design guidelines for the built environment. In starting our community discussion, we need to ask a big-picture question:

How do we want our community to be remembered?

Should development be required to blend in with the community?
