Envision Alachua

What is Envision Alachua?

Envision Alachua is a community-based planning process that seeks to create a vibrant and sustainable future on Plum Creek lands located in eastern Alachua County. Envision Alachua responds directly to the needs and goals expressed by the public—creating opportunities for jobs and education, protecting natural lands and conserving valuable resources.

Envision Alachua’s Focus:
Strong Economy
Vibrant Communities
Healthy Environment

Attracting New Jobs

The plan could bring 30,000 new jobs to Alachua County.

Bringing Balance to Our Communities

Santa Fe College, the University of Florida and Alachua Public Schools have already committed to training our workforce.

Conserving Our Beautiful Lands

88% of Plum Creek’s lands will be placed in permanent conservation— ensuring that the land is never developed.

Planning for Growth

“A sector plan—with a 50-year perspective—is a better approach than considering smaller projects one-by-one.”

—Eric Draper, Executive Director, Audubon Florida
