Jena's Vision
Jena’s Vision represents what a cross-section of Councilmen, business leaders, Core Group members and citizens desire for Jena and the surrounding area for the next five, ten, fifteen years.
Over four hundred people from the Jena area provided input for this strategic plan. Many sacrificed their Saturdays and evenings to help the Mayor and Council identify strengths and areas that need improvement in order to obtain a sustainable path forward.
The overriding principle of this plan was to ensure that we preserved the culture and friendly small town atmosphere while we plan for greater growth and prosperity. Dedicated citizens and other stakeholders have made this plan viable and assures us of successful implementation.
We encourage the citizens to become familiar with the people’s vision for Jena and become a vital part of the implementation process.
