ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (Nov. 6, 2023) – The Town of Oro Valley has launched the community engagement process for the next 10-year plan! Establishing OV’s Path Forward starts here.

This community-driven, 10-year plan will be the map for Oro Valley’s future. It will reflect the community’s goals, policies and measurable actions for public safety, environment, parks, water, development, housing, employment and more.

This is one of the community’s most important efforts to guide the Town’s future. Residents, business owners and the community are encouraged to engage in this process by joining the online discussion at OVPathForward.com or participating in the community at local shops and events.

Go online to answer:

• What do you like best about Oro Valley?
• What do you think OV’s biggest challenges will be?
• What should Oro Valley be known for?

Your responses will be used to shape the community’s vision and values for Oro Valley’s future. Additional content, discussion threads, videos and events will be added in the coming months, so be sure to visit right away and subscribe to get notifications on the topics that are important to you.

“The community-based process of developing a general plan is how we turn the community’s vision into reality, since the plan becomes our playbook for the next ten years,” said Mayor Joe Winfield at the annual State of the Town Address. “Your ideas are important to us. We invite you to weigh in and be part of planning what’s next for Oro Valley.”

This process was last completed 10 years ago, and the Town has worked hard to fulfill the vision articulated in the 2016 “Your Voice, Our Future” Plan. To date, the Town has completed, maintained, or is currently working on 96 percent of the actions in that plan, with four percent remaining to be evaluated or prioritized in the next three years.

“The General Plan is our ‘true north’ because it is informed and shaped by the citizens,” Mayor Winfield said. “We will leverage the momentum of our success with the 2016 plan to propel us into our next decade.”
