Online Presentation: Village with a VisionThe original “Village With A Vision” was developed in 2003 to better inform all Estero residents, both full time and “snowbirds” about the history and recently adopted Estero Community Plan. At that time many new residents did not know they lived in Estero because they were served by the Bonita Springs Post Office and because the community was growing rapidly and most residents were newly arrived. During 2003-05 the program was presented over 30 times to a cumulative audience of 3,000. Since then another 20,000 persons have settled in Estero at least part of the year. Estero’s all volunteer community organizations, the Estero Council of Community Leaders (ECCL), the Estero Community Planning Panel (ECPP) and the Estero Design Review Committee (EDRC) are seeking an opportunity to present a new, updated version to all Estero residential community and service organizations during the upcoming “season”. “Village with a Vision/2011” opens with an information-packed 40-minute Power Point presentation that graphically portrays: · How the community’s tremendous growth was managed during the last decade through widespread citizen participation, and · The challenges that the community and its volunteers must deal with during the coming decade, and · How all Estero residents can participate in this all volunteer undertaking. A question & answer period with a panel of community leaders follows the presentation. The program focuses on the Community Plan and how its provisions impact Estero’s commercial development and enhance the community’s appearance and how our infrastructure and emerging community needs are satisfied as the community grows. The Naples Daily News has editorially hailed Estero as, “The little engine that could,” in recognition of its citizen-initiated Community Plan. The Plan has been honored as best in the state by the Florida Planning & Zoning Association. The Village with a Vision program has been universally hailed as a modern model of America's traditional "town hall" meetings - an example of community self-determination in deciding its future. We encourage you to ask your community board to select a time and date for a meeting in your community and email that information to eccl@esterofl.org. A draft of the Village with a Vision/2011 power point presentation can be viewed below.
