City of Bloomington

Bloomington's mission, values and vision statements guide the City's comprehensive planning efforts. These statements were prepared as part of the Imagine Bloomington 2025 strategic planning and budgeting process conducted by the Bloomington City Council 2006 - 2008.

A professional, productive, learning organization that builds and renews the community by providing quality services at an affordable price.

Bloomington is a community that people seek out as a place to live, conduct business and recreate. We have achieved this status by creating vibrant, safe, welcoming neighborhoods and by working together with our neighbors to promote the fun and vitality of community life.

• We choose to shape the future rather than reacting to a changing environment.
• We provide our children with the educational opportunities to succeed and lead Bloomington into the future;
• We support the efforts of our business community, ensuring the availability of quality jobs, goods and services.
• We are stewards of our environment, promoting sustainability of our many resources and the creation of inviting public spaces.
• We strive to preserve and enhance neighborhood vitality while promoting a strong balanced local economy.
