Envisioning Ester 2050
September 17 | 1 p.m. – 6 p.m. | Ester Gold Camp (Flossie & May’s)
Many thanks to the more than 80 community members who participated in the Community Planning Meeting. It was a great discussion and many wonderful ideas were shared. Once we receive the information from our moderator Shelly Wade, that will be posted here along with our next steps for the process.
Meeting Agenda
- Have a community conversation to:
- Celebrate Ester’s history – where we’ve been and where we’re at today.
- Learn what residents value most and also what they find most challenging about living in Ester.
- Learn what residents want to see in “their future Ester” – long-term goals and short-term priorities.
- Set the stage for a community strategic/action plan that includes community vision, goals, and priorities.
Draft Objectives:
- Remain relevant
- Grow purposely
- Meet current and anticipated needs
- Coordinate development of community assets
- Support opportunities for businesses and commerce
- Maintain positive relations with local mines and extraction activities
- Sustainable community agriculture and nature
