We're Listening
We're developing Marin County's first Strategic Plan in more than 25 years. Envision Marin is an opportunity to look ahead, listen to people across Marin and create a shared direction for our future.
This is an opportunity for you to share your experiences, needs, priorities and hopes for Marin's future. We'll consider your ideas alongside data, staff expertise, priorities set by the Board of Supervisors, and feedback from community organizations, businesses, cities, towns and other partners.
We Want to Hear From You

Planning for Marin’s Future
The plan will help guide County priorities, services, investments and decisions while connecting the work already underway across County government. The plan will guide County priorities, services, investments and decision-making for years to come. It will help ensure that County programs, budgets and projects are aligned around shared community priorities.

A Process for Everyone
Envision Marin is for everyone who lives, works, learns or does business in Marin County. We are committed to making participation accessible through focused outreach to historically underrepresented communities and by providing translation, interpretation, ADA accommodations and virtual participation whenever possible.
What Happens After I Share My Ideas?
We'll review what we hear, identify common themes and share updates with the community throughout the process. Your ideas will help inform the Strategic Plan before it is finalized and will help guide future County priorities and decisions.
