The five dimensions of a Sustainable Community are:

• Governance –Ensuring transparent, collaborative, and inclusive decision-making in which representation and leadership are accountable to the community.

• Economy – Creating a flourishing and diverse local economy through decisions that create conditions conducive to economic development and communities in which people want to live and do business.

• Social – Allowing the growth of communities that promote stability, diversity, and a high quality of life for all.

• Recreational/Culture – Celebrating vibrant and festive communities for the expression and enhancement of a distinct identity and strong sense of place.

This report is an updated version of the ICSP that was first developed in 2009 and provides a summary of what the community’s vision for Village of Spring Lake is in the future, how we will achieve this vision, and how we will ensure its sustainability.
