GREATER BAKERSFIELD VISION 2020

To leverage this future-looking momentum, a group of interested citizens came together in the spring of 1999 and formed a volunteer facilitation team. They began meeting to develop and facilitate an open and inclusive process for the community to create a Vision for the future and an implementable action plan. A non-profit organization, Greater Bakersfield Vision 2020, Inc. was formed; the scope of the process. Was defined and Vision 2020 was introduced to elected officials at the September 13 joint meeting of the Kern County Board of Supervisors and Bakersfield City Council and to the Greater Bakersfield community on September 14, 1999. The four-phase process was completed in 18 months, on time, and under budget, with over 13,000 residents, including our youth, participating. The Action Plan that resulted was handed back to the community for implementation in January 2001... In 2010 a Vision 2020 task force inventoried the work done by the community toward the identified priorities..
