West Virginia: A Vision Shared
The name, West
Virginia: A Vision Shared!, was carefully chosen to convey
the purpose of this project. It is now time to face forward --
armed with a shared vision and a clear strategy -- to be a leader
in the future. The vision of the preferred future, developed with
the input from over 400 West Virginians and the Council is the
following.
West Virginia’s strong commitment to future generations has created a vibrant and diverse economy balancing quality jobs and the state’s irreplaceable natural beauty. West Virginia has a highly skilled and educated work force, is a leader in innovation and offers an excellent quality of life for all residents.
This vision statement serves as
a snapshot of West Virginia’s preferred future in 20 years.
It is meant to be used as a touchstone to ensure that actions
being undertaken are in-line and on-course.
The inclusive
and wide- ranging input process, coupled with the extensive
research conducted on the economy and its competitiveness, have
produced the ideas contained in this strategy. The key issue areas
that West Virginia is addressing were narrowed to the following.
1. Intellectual Infrastructure in the 21 st Century
2. New Economy: New Challenges and New Solutions
3. Results- Based Government: Planning for the Future
4. Building Bridges and Empowering Citizens
