Draft Vision and Guiding Principles Options
The Vision and Guiding Principles will guide the development and direction of the goals, policies, and programs for the 2050 General Plan Update. The General Plan Project Team has drafted options for the countywide vision statement and guiding principles that will be reviewed and decided on by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.
The Draft Vision and Guiding Principles were drafted based on common themes, ideas, words, and phrases expressed during community engagement events, including the first countywide community workshop, Focus Group meetings, the Placemaking Project, the County Fair information booth, and 10 community workshops. Common themes, ideas, words, and phrases were gleaned from hundreds of conversations, written comments, and workshop activities.

The General Plan Update is a pivotal opportunity to shape the future of Trinity County. Through this process, the County and its consultants (General Plan Team), with input from the public and stakeholders, will consider new, pertinent topics, such as climate change and resiliency, environmental justice, and public health, to ensure Trinity County is positioned to achieve its vision for the future.
As the Update progresses, this website will be a primary source for information. Please check back regularly for drafts of project documents and opportunities to engage in the Update process – including dates and times of events and meetings.
