As a guide for the Comprehensive Plan Revision
After the turn of the 21st Century, citizens of Bowling Green-Warren County should be able to describe their community in these terms:
Bowling Green-Warren County is a dynamic, harmonious, growing community which has been able to maintain its small town atmosphere and exceptional quality of life. Bowling Green-Warren County is a community committed to community-wide excellence. Respect for our tradition and heritage is the source of our pride but we are excited about our future.
We rely on visionary local governments and free market forces to sustain our growth and to provide appropriate and acceptable levels of public service and economic activity.
We have been able to manage our growth and to protect our environment and our small town atmosphere. With that management and ongoing planning, Bowling Green has become a city of opportunity. We have well planned and fully serviced centers of economic activity which provide jobs, goods and services for the entire region. We have a wide variety of fully served residential areas with protected open spaces which reflect our rural heritage. Our living places and work places are connected by well designed, functional transportation corridors. Our air is clear and our water is pure.
To sustain our growth and our quality of life, every public and private action is strictly judged by its impact on our natural and manmade environment and on our overall quality of life.
We realize that continued growth bears new costs. As a community we are committed to providing infrastructure and public service at levels consistent with the quality of life we now enjoy. To that end we individually and collectively expect to pay our fair share of the cost.
