Adoption Process

OV's Path Forward was created by residents and must be approved by residents. It was created by many residents coming together to create a plan that reflects the collective community’s values, priorities and expectations for the Town’s future. Over the past two years, residents provided over 10,700 comments at pop-up events, public meetings, surveys and online forums. Great care was taken to balance varying perspectives and needs of a diverse population. If approved, it will serve as the Town’s general plan, providing the framework guiding decisions for the next 10 years.

The first steps in the adoption process are public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Plan will then be considered by the Town Council for adoption. Town Council adoption signifies the Plan is ready to be placed on the ballot in November 2026.
