Over 60 community members gathered at the YMCA on Tuesday evening to talk about one guiding question:
“What kind of community do we want to be?”

The Vandalia Civic Advancement group had a kick off panel of local leaders discussing community development.

One thing rang true the entire evening - Unity

Here’s what was discussed:

• $50M+ in recent community investment
• Growing school enrollment and workforce pathways
• Desirable quality of life assets
• Breaking down institutional silos
• Strategic infrastructure planning
• Attracting remote workers and return migration
• Housing balance across generations
• Supporting both young families and older adults

For the first time in decades, leadership across the City, School District, County, Park District, YMCA, healthcare, and business community are sitting at the same table with one goal:

Intentional, coordinated, generational progress.

We often get bogged down on all of the negativity that we see and hear, especially on social media. However, if you make your way through that, you realize our community has the ingredients for success, and that we are already changing for the better!

If you couldn’t attend — stay engaged. Please take the survey to help us move forward!
