Gulf Shores Launches Vision 2035

The City of Gulf Shores held a mapping meeting for its Vision 2035, a municipal strategic plan to help shape its future for the next decade, Gulf Coast Media reported. It focused on categories residents want the city to prioritize in the next 10 years. These quality of life ideas included access to better healthcare, environmental stewardship, improving education and creating new economic opportunities. Building on feedback from this summer’s resident survey, residents were excited for future changes but also resisted a detour being made for traffic during the city’s planned pedestrian bridge‘s construction to permanently run through the neighborhood. Projects that stemmed from the first iteration of this project, Vision 2025, included splitting Gulf Shores’s schools from the county system, expanding infrastructure, revitalizing Gulf State Park, creating Waterway Village and the Gulf Beach District, building the new high school and justice center, expanding the airport expansions and designing the pedestrian bridge.
