Village of Montgomery’s Vision Statement
The following Vision Statement was developed during the plan update process in 2001-2002, after a series of public meetings, survey analysis and meetings of the citizen advisory group (Comprehensive Plan Committee). It summarizes and outlines the goals, objectives and values for the community as expressed Montgomery’s residents.
"As the Village of Montgomery grows and changes, its residents seek to preserve the small-town atmosphere, the beautiful Fox Riverfront, and attractive natural features that brought them here or keep them here. The vision for Montgomery includes providing residents with choices and options for housing, transportation, recreation, cultural activities, employment opportunities, and convenient shopping and dining; protecting property values by enforcing high maintenance standards; requiring well-designed and landscaped public and private development; and emphasizing the importance of public schools and parks as key community assets and neighborhood centers.
"The community Vision is for each infill project, new development and redevelopment to enhance the Village’s unique peaceful, old-town setting by contributing or preserving: landmarks and views; parks and recreation; attractive, pedestrian-friendly and understated commercial and business districts; tree-lined, walkable and bikeable neighborhoods; natural areas; and the overall economic base.
"Residents want Montgomery to be a place where there is an open exchange of information among its residents, business owners and government; where the local government is accessible, knowledgeable and fiscally responsible, yet attends to the community’s needs for expanding health, safety and other public services; and where they can be proud of the sense of community and unified small-town character of their home – Montgomery."
