Our vision for North Central Florida in the 21st century is one of sustained prosperity, a high standard of living, and an exceptional quality of life. We envision North Central Florida as a regional economic unit competing on a global level.

As we enter the information age we fully understand that knowledge is the new wealth of communities and nations. Our hopes are for engaging each and everyone in the region in life-long learning, for enhancing the delivery of affordable health care to all citizens, for preserving the quality of our natural resources, for strengthening our local economies, and for making government more efficient and more responsive.
