Abstract
Jackson County Tomorrow aspires to provide a groundwork for activities and planning efforts surrounding young family retention and attraction. It began with conversations among young families not only about what they like about the community, but also what they would like to see improved, and community leaders should continue those conversations with both current and future generations. The methods used in this project include qualitative assessments, from focus groups and a series of interviews with financial and real estate stakeholders, a quantitative, on-the-ground assessment of current conditions, and in-depth studies of best practices in comparable small U.S. towns. This process resulted in a number of community goals, objectives, and strategies for implementation that aim to improve Jackson County’s ability to retain or re-attract young families. Resident feedback provided the vision statement that guided the planning process and prioritized the goals and objectives described throughout this document.
