Introduction to the Seven Foundations

Chapter 2 of ShapeCheyenne contains the Foundations, which represent the values and ideals of the Cheyenne community. They guide how the Cheyenne area should maintain its distinctiveness and livability and grow and prosper in the future. They are also the organizing elements for ShapeCheyenne and also BuildCheyenne. Principles, which are broadbased goals or directions for our community follow the Foundations. Finally, that chapter contains policies, which guide decisions to achieve the community's principles and help outline actions.

The seven foundations are:

1. 1. Growing as a Community of Choice;


2. Creating Livable "Hometown" Neighborhoods;


3. Fostering Vital Employment and Activity Centers;


4. Developing a Connected and Diverse Transportation System;


5. Celebrating Our Character and Varied Heritages;


6. Creating a Legacy of Parks, Open Spaces, and Trails; and


7. Developing in a Fiscally Responsible Way.
