Quality of Place
We have adopted a concept called Quality of Place, which we use to focus our resources on meeting the needs of our rural region. Quality of Place is something all communities will need to be successful in the future, found in four asset areas:
- Natural Assets - outdoor recreation, clean air and water, lakes and forests
- Structural assets - housing, health care, education
- Social assets - leadership effective organizations, community character
- Economic assets - jobs, family incomes, business opportunities
Our mission statement reflects these findings and guides our programs and activities outlined below.
