Breakthrough Solutions
Community and Regional Success Stories
Van Buren is Moving and Shaking – April 1998

When it comes to community involvement, the Van Buren VISION 2010 Leadership Team and Steering Committee are real pros. The team sent representatives to every civic group in the community, gathering over 400 ideas to improve the community. In early February, they hosted a media reception for television, radio, and newspaper representatives, giving them a briefing on VISION 2010. Since that reception, their news coverage has improved dramatically.

In late February, they held a Vision Fair for three hours for the public. The Steering Committee created 11 exhibit booths of different issues and possible projects. Over 200 people attended and voted on their top priority issues. This led to the formation of eight study action teams.

Congratulations to Van Buren for your terrific work.
