Hear Siuslaw Vision Project results tonight Tonight, residents of the Siuslaw community will gather at a Siuslaw Pathways Regional Forum to hear the results of the Siuslaw Vision Project and begin to identify key action items that will enhance our community. The family-friendly event is open to interested community members, of all ages, living in the region. It will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Florence Senior Center community meeting space, 1570 Kingwood St. Light refreshments will be served and there will be play space for young children. The forum is the culmina- tion of the community vision- ing process that began with an online survey about communi- ty vitality and has continued through a series of community meetings and targeted focus group discussions. “We had great input from residents throughout our region, teenager to senior citi- zen, about what would make this an even better place to grow up, work and live,” com- mented Becky Goehring, one of the co-leaders of the Pathways Visioning Project. “We will be presenting that and, most importantly, giving people a chance to become a champion and work to bring a part of the vision that is impor- tant to them, to reality.” Some possibilities of action committees include creating community recreation centers, enhancing job training with internships and mentorships, intergenerational support in childcare, job efforts, aging in place movements, better access to healthcare throughout the region, affordable housing and repurposing abandoned store- fronts or mill sites. The first part of tonight’s meeting will include a presen- tation and discussion of the vision statement. During the second half, participants will choose an action area and begin exploring ways to move that idea forward. The Siuslaw Region shares the same boundaries as the Mapleton and Siuslaw School Districts and includes the com- munities of Deadwood, Swisshome, Mapleton, Florence and Dunes City. All ages are welcome and encouraged to attend to help shape the future of the Siuslaw region. The project has been sup- ported by The Ford Family Foundation, the City of Florence, Florence Rotary and the Siuslaw Library District, along with community support.
