Branford Vision Project Mission Statement

Branford’s Vision Project task force is comprised of representatives of town boards, commissions and select organizations which represent our community’s values through their involvement in community affairs, economic development, and land use [members listed below]. 

The Task Force’s charge is to establish goals, objectives and strategies to promote a healthy balance between the interests of the business community and its residents – an articulation of what this community wants for its next generations.  This includes: 

·                    high quality of life,

·                    educational and employment opportunity,

·                    sustainable growth,

·                    cultural enrichment,

·                    preservation of both local heritage and natural resources. 

The project’s focus is long term, producing a guide to aid in short-term decision making while maintaining a thoughtful and strategic path for Branford’s economic, physical and community development.

The task force will employ various methods of collecting and analyzing information in order to develop a set of recommendations as to what Branford can be and what should be done to realize that “vision.”
