Vision 2030 Plan
In March 2010, Provo City formed a 20-member visioning steering committee to provide guidance on what Provo City should be by the year 2030. The purpose of this process was to provide consistent long-term direction to municipal decision-making in areas not typically addressed by a general plan or other tools used in Provo’s strategic planning.

Under the direction of Mayor John Curtis and the municipal council, a steering committee developed an aspirational Community Vision Statement and specifically identified eight Provo Core Values. With the guidance of these documents, 14 subcommittees, consisting of interested individuals with strong ties to Provo City, were formed to provide policy direction within the scope of their respective topics.



The strategic plan is currently undergoing an update to prepare us for 2050.
