Thanks to all OV residents who shared over 8,900 ideas, perspectives, and expectations for the future! Read about significant amount of resident direction HERE.

Now it's time to use that feedback and get to work! Calling all residents interested in using the direction provided by residents during Phase 1, to create OV's Path Forward.

Your help is needed to make sure the plan represents residents. The next 10-year action plan will only be successful if it reflects what most residents said through surveys, online discussions, and at events.

Resident Working Groups

Five resident working groups will meet 4-5 times between January – May 2025. Meetings will mostly take place online with some in-person opportunities. Each working group will use the feedback from residents gathered over the last year to help forge goals, policies and actions about the following topics:

  • Community, parks and recreation, arts and culture, and safety
  • Housing
  • Growth, Development and Roadways
  • Economic Development and Town Finances
  • Environment, Water, and Climate

What is needed from you? Residents in working groups must live in Oro Valley, full or part-time. They must be able to commit 4-6 hours a month to prepare and attend meetings. Experience relating to a topic area is encouraged but not required.

Tentative Schedule

The number of meetings will vary depending on the number of participants and topic being discussed. A general schedule is provided below with more details to come:
