Laguna Beach Vision 2030 Strategic Plan

The Vision 2030 Strategic Plan begun in 1999 begins this way:

What will Laguna Beach be like a generation from now? In thirty years will we congratulate ourselves on what we have achieved or lament on what we have lost?

The Vision 2030 Strategic Plan defined what our community identified as our greatest assets, opportunities and challenges. In contributions from seven strategy teams a  substantial consensus emerged around which were our greatest issues, and a framework of Goals and Actions for addressing them.

The reason for doing so was obvious in 1999 as now: 

"If you don't know where you're going, you might end-up somewhere else."

It's almost 2030, what has been done?  What remains to be implemented?  What are the new issues since 1999?  Do we know where we are going (see chart above)?  

The Vision 2030 Strategic Plan master copy from 2001 has been lost, there are no printed copies available, only a poor scanned copy of paper remains on the LB City website. The website www.visionlaguna.org has expired. What should be done to restore this guiding testament to LB resident values?

Now the plan has been updated for relevancy in 2023, rewritten in digital (pdf) format, searchable and answers those questions, here it is:

Laguna Beach Vision 2030 Strategic Plan REVISED
