Planning Adams County's Tomorrow

This grassroots citizen’s forum was formed to try and capture what this county needs in terms of the economy, community and the environment to proceed into the twenty-first century. In a process of community consensus it developed a vision: In the year 2020, Adams County is recognized for its abundant natural resources, innovative and compatible economic opportunities, proud Appalachian heritage, preserved rural landscape and well-educated, healthy, employed residents. The forum has begun to attack the challenges, specifically in the tourism compatible economic development arena. Our funding sources have been The Nature Conservancy, Ohio Department of Development, Foundation for Appalachian Ohio and county commissioners.
