The Vision 2020 Action Plan was presented back to the community on January 29, 2001 for implementation. The Vision for the future of Greater Bakersfield, and the Action Plan to accomplish the Vision, were developed by the residents of the community through an open, inclusive, and collaborative process that involved over 13,000 residents and 400 volunteers.
