3) Be a welcoming community of opportunity for people of diverse races, ages, sexual orientations, belief systems, cultures and incomes.
4) Pursue a strong economy that provides diverse employment, a stable tax base and supports the values of the community.
5) Seek, in all our decisions and actions, to reduce the carbon footprint of the community and encourage sound ecological practices throughout.
6) Provide careful, creative and cooperative stewardship of land resources.
