Economic Development Strategic Action Plan 2008-12

TAKING A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO MAKING CARNATION A GREAT PLACE

We see a future of full of opportunity for Carnation, and the strategic action plan contained on the following pages establishes the vision, strategies, partnerships, and timelines needed to help us work proactively to achieve that desired future for our community.

In our vision, Carnation will retain and build upon many of its current and historic strengths. With the contributions of key partners and the community as a whole, we’ll build and enhance our phenomenal small town quality of life and celebrate the natural beauty of our location. We’ll create a vital and vibrant commercial center – a great small town – at the heart of the Snoqualmie River Valley’s tremendous recreational and agricultural assets.

This future vision is very much in line with our community’s past and the characteristics that current residents love about our community. We’re enthusiastic to begin the next phase – the hard work of plan implementation – and we are confident that through this investment of time, energy, and resources, we will make Carnation a great place for current and future residents, employees, business owners, and visitors.
