A draft of the city of Bessemer’s 2040 Vision Frameworks is being made available online for residents to review.

The draft 2040 Vision Framework was developed by STRADA Professional Services at the direction of Mayor Kenneth Gulley and the Bessemer City Council. The draft framework was developed after interviews with Bessemer leaders, a visioning committee and interactions with businesses and residents. A survey was provided for Bessemer residents to provide input on the drafting of a vision plan.

It was presented to the Mayor and City Council this month.

The American Planning Association defines visioning in the planning process as “a community activity intended to produce a common vision, accompanied by goals, for the future.”
