FOUNDATION AND PREAMBLE

 

In 1995, Citrus 20/20 found what is treasured most in Citrus County is the unique and irreplaceable wealth of the county's natural resources, from trees to parks and preserves to greenbelts.

 

Our indigenous natural resources need to be maintained and restored for future generations. More particularly, we treasure the water resources in our county's lakes, springs, rivers and estuaries along the gulf, as well as the inter-related underground aquifer that supplies them and gives us our drinking water.

 

We treasure our education system with its growing potential and its ability to meet the changing needs of our young people and residents. Our small town atmosphere, the rich people-resources of our diverse population, our low crime rate and extensive community involvement all make Citrus County the special place that it is.

 

We recognize that our future economic and physical well-being, our desire for managed growth, and our semi-rural ambience depend upon our ability to take a balanced stand. It is for this purpose that we create this Vision Statement to help chart that course.
