Vision 2010 Program Works In Hempstead County
Vision 2010 is a Community Development program conducted through the
University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. Vision 2010 leads
community groups through a strategic visioning process where they envision what
they want their community to look like in the future. A plan of action is
developed to help the community achieve their vision.
Hempstead County has a Vision 2010 community in Fulton and in Hope.
The Fulton Vision 2010 group is investigating the resources available in
Fulton and western Hempstead County, and how those resources can be used to
attract industrial and business development to the area.
The Hope Public Schools Vision 2010 group is a group of concerned community
leaders who are working together to gather public opinions from school district
residents. They want to know what the general public perceives as the strengths
and weaknesses of the Hope Public Schools and what the public would like the
Hope Public School system to look like in the future. Public opinion surveys
have been distributed and the information gathering process is ongoing.
