Clearfield looking forward to 2010

CLEARFIELD (Deseret News) — The City Council unveiled Clearfield's vision for the next decade, a decade expected to bring economic development, high-income housing, more police officers, innovative park amenities and a walkable, vibrant downtown.

The posters, banners and logos have been up for a year announcing Vision 2020.

And a committee of residents, business owners, planning commissioners and other stakeholders has been meeting monthly during that time to create a document that can guide plans for the city over the next 10 years.

By 2020, Clearfield could be a very different place.

As of this past week, the city has the following official goals:

Maintain Clearfield as Davis County's job center, and increase the number of family-sustaining jobs.

Improve and expand the city's shopping, dining and entertainment options with unique, destination-oriented developments.

Foster resident involvement and community awareness through recreation, arts and education.

Celebrate and support the city's cultural, ethnic and age-based diversity.

Maintain the city's long-term fiscal health and efficient service delivery.

Operate more efficiently with advanced information technology.
