Resident-driven Process

Starting in Phase 1, extensive and innovative efforts were made to engage the Oro Valley community and gather ideas from a broad range of residents. This phase resulted in the vision and guiding principles that form the foundation for the Plan.

Moving into Phase 2, the Economy Resident Working Group used the valuable insights from Phase 1, along with relevant background information, to craft the goals, policies, and actions outlined in this section. This dedicated group met eight times from February to December 2025 to reach a consensus on the Plan. Their work ensured the Plan reflects residents' values and preferred outcomes.

  • The guidance from residents that shaped the 10-year plan can be found in the Phase 1 Report.
  • For more details about the existing conditions related to the topics discussed in this section, please refer to the companion document, OV’s Path Forward Background Report.
