It prioritizes Oro Valley’s standing as a safe community that conserves scenic desert and mountain views, maintains quality parks and roads, and manages water and financial resources.OV’s Path Forward includes 286 specific actions for the town to implement over a 10-year period. It succeeds Your Voice, Our Future, the 10-year plan with 310 measurable actions, all of which have been either completed, actively pursued, or transferred to OV’s Path Forward.Town officials expressed their thanks to voters, the public, and all who participated in the plan’s creation. Oro Valley received more than 10,700 comments in crafting the 137-page document.“It’s wonderful to see such strong community support for OV’s Path Forward,” said Mayor Joe Winfield, who left office Nov. 4 after two four-year terms. “I’m deeply grateful to the thousands of residents who helped shape this plan and to our dedicated planning staff for their tireless efforts to create a shared vision that will guide Oro Valley’s future while preserving what makes our town so special.”“We are extremely grateful to Oro Valley residents for making their voices heard and for supporting OV’s Path Forward,” Town Manager Jeff Wilkins agreed. “This outcome reflects a shared commitment to preserving what makes Oro Valley special while planning responsibly for the future. We look forward to honoring that trust through continued community engagement and purposeful implementation of the plan in the years ahead.”Bayer Vella, the town’s planning manager, and Milini Simms, a principal planner with the town, led the town’s effort to create OV’s Path Forward.“The vote confirms the plan resonates with the community,” Simms said. “This achievement is a direct result of the time and effort that residents have dedicated over the past three years.“I am grateful to everyone who shared their voice and worked together to make sure the plan reflects the values and priorities of the community,” she continued. “Now, the town will start implementing the plan to achieve the results residents envisioned for Oro Valley. I encourage everyone to read the plan and look forward to annual progress reports.” OV’s Path Forward resides online at ovpathforward.com.“There is something special happening in Oro Valley,” said Vella, a veteran of the general planning process. “The vote reflects the highest level of support for any past town general plan proposition.” In 2006, Your Voice, Our Future garnered 71% of votes cast.Vella credited residents for “shouldering the work from start to final community approval” of the general plan update.“Over the course of three years of participation, a very impressive number of residents directly ensured the plan truly reflects the values and collective direction for the future,” Vella said. “Way to go, OV!”</div></body>
