Pine Bluff 20/20
~ A Vision of What Can Be ~
Successful communities don’t just wait for the future…any future…to
happen to them. They are the authors of their own destinies.
Recognizing this, in his state of the city address in January of 2007,
Pine Bluff Mayor Carl A. Redus Jr. challenged the Pine Bluff
community and surrounding areas to engage in a process by which the
community as a whole would envision a successful future Pine Bluff
and plan the means of achieving that future. The community took
Mayor Redus’s challenge to heart and, from that spark, Pine Bluff
20/20 was born.
Pine Bluffians and others from the area are coming together in a spirit of
consensus and collaboration, determined to create a safe, successful
and self-respecting Pine Bluff for themselves and future generations.
Participants represent a broad, cross section from all walks of life,
including not only local government and business, but also non-profit organizations and, most importantly, the citizens themselves.
Every citizen’s input is invaluable. We would like every citizen to take
personal responsibility for this collaboration, not only for the planning,
but also for its results.
If you haven’t participated yet, it’s not too late to join the team. If you
are interested in participating on a Goal Team, a group dedicated to
working on specific projects for the advancement of our community,
please email us at pinebluff2020@cityofpinebluff.com. Provide your
name, neighborhood, telephone numbers, and in what areas your
interests lie (race relations, youth, economic development, etc.).
