Arts & Cultural Vitality
The arts enrich individuals, unite communities, enhance problem-solving and abstract thinking, preserve cultural heritage, and boost the economy. A vibrant community thrives on diverse arts and cultural experiences, supported by strong business and government backing for local cultural resources.
Civic & Neighborhood Engagement
Community engagement embodies democracy, inclusion, and social responsibility. We welcome diverse perspectives, ages, genders, orientations, cultures, and ethnicities in governance to guide and involve citizens as civic participants.
Economic Wellbeing
A thriving economy creates jobs, income, and revenue for public services, fostering a flourishing community. Strong economic resources equip individuals with workforce skills, enhance business productivity, promote family self-reliance, and enable responsive governance.
Education & Lifelong Learning
Learning enables us to be productive, self-sufficient, and ready for life. Respecting and accessing lifelong educational opportunities allows us to achieve our potential, think critically, make informed decisions, and enrich our understanding of our diverse world.
Health & Wellness
Healthy communities foster a strong economy and self-reliant families. Investing in preventative health measures ensures everyone can manage their own health and have access to essential healthcare services.

Land Use, Housing & Infrastructure
Housing and mobility options boost family self-sufficiency and business profitability. Creative development addresses community issues. The region aims for affordable housing, diverse land use, economic growth, and varied outdoor lifestyles.
Mental & Behavioral Health
Behavioral health includes mental health and substance abuse, both rising nationwide. Often co-occurring, substance abuse is higher among those with mental illness, worsening their condition.
Natural Environment
Clean air and water support healthy communities, recreation, and wildlife. Investing in natural resources benefits future generations. Living in harmony with our environment allows us to enjoy the unique beauty of the Truckee Meadows.
Public Safety & Wellbeing
Safe and secure individuals and families, shelter, neighborhoods, schools and workplaces not only influence overall health and economic development, but also vibrant tourism encouraging visitors to enjoy regional attractions. The community accepts and exercises responsibility to care for its most vulnerable populations, and ensures that others are provided opportunities to achieve sustainable lives.
Poverty & Homelessness
Limited income and homelessness indicate the need for effective programs to improve self-sufficiency and life outcomes for all people. Decent, affordable housing reduces stress, toxins, and infectious disease, which also leads to improvement in both physical and mental health.
