Caldwell 20/20 - A Foundation for the Future - Caldwell County, North Carolina

Leadership/Civic Pride

 
 
Caldwell County’s leaders recognized the need to come together to examine the realities and the opportunities that belong to Caldwell County. They agreed that developing a vision and a strategy to bridge the past to the future would require a community consensus and a dedicated, long-term plan and effort.
 
That effort is more than a goal. It is a process which requires ongoing development of leadership into the future and a re-generation of community pride and civic engagement.
