COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS FRAMEWORK

VISION (a working draft)Our plan for moving FORWARD TOGETHER calls for a BLUEPRINT for a BINGHAMTON that is:

THRIVING – with a bustling downtown and home-grown businesses that create local jobs

SUSTAINABLE – a city of safe neighborhoods nestled within a beautiful landscape

HEALTHY – with active citizens who take advantage of the city’s walkability and bikeability

PROUD – with the authenticity of place fostered by our rich history we celebrate and project a renewed self-image

and most of all

ALIVE –Binghamton today and tomorrow is a great place in which to raise a family and grow old, a welcoming home to people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and incomes who choose to live here, and more importantly, stay here.
