Theme Team Meeting | Economic Opportunity and Lifelong Learning & Achievement

Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - 4:00pm to 5:30pm


This meeting will help to refine the ideas in the following two theme areas: Economic Opportunity and Lifelong Learning & Achievement

Vision Theme:  Economic Opportunity

In Tualatin, people understand the value of a diverse and thriving economic base.  In addition to supplying local jobs, a strong economy generates revenue for essential services, expands nearby retail shopping opportunities and – in the case of redevelopment projects – can physically improve the City’s appearance.  In the future, citizens are interested in facilitating new business start ups, ensuring Tualatin’s workforce can afford to live here and extending employment and training opportunities for youth.

 

Vision Theme:  Lifelong Learning and Achievement

Even in challenging economic times, Tualatin residents want to secure stable funding for schools and facilitate their ability to continue offering a wide variety of educational programming.  There is increasing interest in expanding training in science, technology, engineering and math to ensure Tualatin residents are equipped to fill the jobs of tomorrow.  There is also support for increasing learning opportunities for all ages, whether expanding literacy among children, or offering personal-enrichment classes and programming for adults.
