Vision Statement of the Keystone-Odessa Community Plan

The Keystone-Odessa community will continue to be a rural community, embracing its agricultural past. Its continuing desire is to be an open area that: values nature above commercialism; dark, star-filled skies at night above the glare of urban lights; and the sound of crickets and frogs above traffic noise. Blessed with many lakes, wetlands and rivers; and dependent on water wells for survival, these will be supported to ensure their continued health. Protection of water resources will be paramount.

Rural roads that transect the Keystone-Odessa community will remain in their present form (two-lane local and collector roadway connections for movement without entering major arterial highways), freely used by community residents. Urban design standards and/or traffic generated by surrounding high population centers are not to degrade the community’s country roads.

For questions 1 through 9, put a number next to each choice in order of importance.
Number 1 being the most important to you (2 as the second most important and so on). Do NOT use the same number twice!

Number 10 allows for a more in-depth response.
