Siuslaw Vision

Building a better Siuslaw community together

Siuslaw Vision is a grassroots effort to enhance opportunities in western Lane County – the Siuslaw region. The organization supports local residents in implementing a community-developed Vision. The Vision was created by local people over a two year period and officially launched in 2016. The work of the organization focuses on three strategies:

• Connecting people and organization in the region with each other and with the resources needed to accomplish their goals.
• Convening like-minded, and unrelated, people and groups to build individual and organization capacity within the region.
• Catalyzing community-led projects to build a better Siuslaw region together.

The Siuslaw Vision includes six elements, all focused on local people:

1. Working People
2. Happy People
3. Educated People
4. Connected People
5. Creative People
6. Active People

To achieve the Vision, area residents are focusing on several initiatives, including supporting local workforce development and childcare programs, establishing safe and affordable housing options, and promoting public art. Helping to support community champions who are working to turn these dreams into reality is the work of a volunteer steering committee known as the Vision Team. Countless community members are involved in all aspects of implementing the Vision. Click here to become involved.
