Pursue partnerships that achieve common goals and improve the quality of life in Oro Valley.



Goal. The desired result or the envisioned future, answering the question “What do we strive for?”
Policy.The direction or path, answering the question “How are we achieving our goals?”
Action. The specific and measurable steps, answering the question
“What steps do we need to take to achieve our goals?”


Each action includes a timeframe for completion and assigns a responsible department within the Town of Oro Valley to lead its implementation. This information is meant to be somewhat flexible, as priorities for each action may shift based on new guidance and resources. More information about the anticipated timeframe is provided at the bottom of this page.

The following is a list of policies and actions that support the goal and long-term vision for the community.
