WHAT IS VISION36?

Vision36 outlines seven key areas that will guide our focus over the next 10 years as we work to move Greensboro forward.

STRATEGIC FRAMEWORKS

SEVEN CORNERSTONES

ECONOMIC ENGINES & COMPETITIVENESS

Build a strong economy that attracts investment, supports businesses, and creates opportunities for residents. 

URBAN FORM & QUALITY OF PLACE

Create neighborhoods and public spaces that make Greensboro an attractive place to live, work, and visit.

MOBILTY, TRANSPORTATION & CONNECTIVITY

Ensure people, goods, and information can move safely, efficiently, and reliably throughout the city and region.

CULTURE, LIVABILITY & SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Strengthen the community through arts, recreation, safety, and the services that improve quality of life

GOVERNANCE, POLICY & INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTH

Build an effective, accountable, and trusted government that delivers excellent public service.

INCLUSION, TALENT & RESILIENCE 

Develop people, expand opportunity, and build a community that can adapt, recover, and thrive through change.

GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT & MEGA-REGIONAL POSITIONING

Position Greensboro to compete and collaborate beyond its borders by strengthening regional partnerships and establishing a global footprint.

DECISION-MAKING MATRIX

Vision36 features a decision-making framework to help City leaders evaluate proposals consistently and transparently. This matrix serves as a vital tool for evaluating projects, policies, programs, and initiatives presented for City Council consideration.
