Vision Blueprint 2050

 

OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

recommendation

Staff is requesting Council approve Vision Blueprint 2050 - the City’s capital investment strategy. This strategic plan serves as the nexus between the vison, goals, and capital facility policies in the Redmond 2050 Comprehensive Plan and the City’s Capital Investment Program (CIP) and 2-year budget. Vision Blueprint 2050 compiles the City’s capital planning and financial policies, as well as projects from the city’s adopted functional plans, and lays-out a capital investment strategy to the year 2050.

 

Similar to its predecessor, Vision Blueprint 2030, the plan is intended as a living document and will be updated during off-budget years in anticipation of updates to the 6-year CIP.
