Nearly 10 years ago community members worked together to create SomerVision, a 20-year comprehensive plan for Somerville. SomerVision includes nearly 600 values-driven goals, policies, and actions that cover a variety of issues including housing, development, job creation, and more. Since it was adopted, SomerVision has helped to shape and guide so much that has happened in the City, but a lot changes in 10 years and we think it’s time to look beyond the original SomerVision’s 2030 end date.

To start the SomerVision 2040 process, we’re holding a kickoff on Tuesday, January 15, at 6 p.m., at The Armory (191 Highland Ave.).
