Vision 20/20

20/20…A Strategic Plan

Edina has always been a community that has recognized the importance of the past while preparing itself for the future. From its incorporation in 1888 as a milling area on the banks of Minnehaha Creek, Edina has evolved to be a model among municipalities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

In 1998, the Edina City Council began a very exciting project. With the assistance of Hoisington Koegler Group and Ehlers & Associations, the City began assembling "Edina's Vision 20/20," a long-range plan that will guide the City in its continued evolution. The project is now complete.

Edina's Vision 20/20 is both a long-term vision for the City as well as a short-term strategic plan of three to five years. From a visioning perspective, it examines where the community has been, where it wants to go and how it will get there. From a strategic planning perspective, it examines the challenges and opportunities that have been identified as having the highest priority within the community.

The final report of the plan listed nine objectives, or goals. What is important to note is that those objectives were formed based on public participation. The goals came from the concerns of residents.

In the spring of 2003, the City Council revisited the plan and made note of accomplishments to date. In addition, the plan was rewritten to include new and revised objectives.

Put simply, Edina's Vision 20/20 was written to improve the quality of life here.
