Lebanon 2040 Vision & Community Strategic Action Plan

The LEBANON 2040 VISION is our community’s plan to shape its future over the next 25 years. The plan provides a shared vision of what physical, economic, social, and recreational attributes will define the place we call home. The Vision serves as a guide for our strategic policy, investment, and programmatic decisions as our community embraces and defines its own future.

There are two primary components to this vision:

  • Lebanon 2040 Vision Statement & Focus Areas
  • Lebanon Community Strategic Action Plan

The Vision Statement and Focus Areas offers a broad-brush description of Lebanon in 2040. It was developed by a panel of citizens and stakeholders and adopted by the City Council in 2015 after an extensive public involvement process that engaged over 1,100 residents through multiple activities across the city.

The core elements of the Action Plan development process included two key components: A citizen-led Strategic Vision Action Plan Task Force and a community/stakeholder engagement process utilizing multiple outreach tools.

The Strategic Action Plan represents an initial five-year blueprint for advancing the community toward achieving the Lebanon 2040 Vision. While the 17 identified strategies provide general guidance for implementing the Vision, the action items contained within each strategy constitute the concrete steps the community has committed to take in order to become the friendly and thriving town described in the Vision Statement.
