VISION 2000. Development guidance document. In July 1990, the Dubuque City Council created a Long Range Planning Commission and charged it by ordinance to "coordinate and supervise the preparation and maintenance of the comprehensive plan" for the city. A year-long community visioning activity was begun to obtain a broad base of community participation and support for the planning process. This activity, sponsored and implemented by the Tri-State Community 2000 Steering Committee, included community meetings, a reactor group session, a citizen input questionnaire and a community validation and assessment survey.
Written as goals and objectives, the Vision 2000 document contained eight categories including economic development, education, transportation, environment, cultural and recreational opportunity, leadership, community attitudes, and racial/ethnic diversity.
