The purpose of this Community Plan is to provide a framework for achievable and place-based action that will enable the Stanley community to meet its existing and future needs. It provides a roadmap for what needs to be preserved, protected, and improved to retain the unique rural, historic, agricultural, and natural environments that defines Stanley. This plan has been developed entirely through consultation with those who live and work in Stanley and it builds on previous community and Council planning processes.
This Community Plan provides a well-coordinated approach to make the village even better and address the changes driven by and for the community. This plan tackles the core challenges that Stanley may face in the future by being proactive and suggesting ways to leverage the village’s unique strengths.
