John Day 2045 Community Vision
ABOUT THE JOHN DAY 2045 COMMUNITY VISION
As a foundational part of a city-wide planning process, the City of John Day is inviting the community to share their hopes and vision for John Day’s future.
We want to know what you love about this community now and what you hope for its future. This information will be used to develop rich, descriptive city-wide vision statements that provide long term guidance for the City and its partners to achieve a shared vision for John Day’s ideal future look and feel.
The City is working with Jensen Strategies, an Oregon based consulting firm, to facilitate this vision and strategic planning process.
Check back to this page or sign up via the survey to receive ongoing updates about this work.
You’re invited!
Community Meeting Wednesday, November 5 from 6-7pm at the John Day Senior Center. Come enjoy cookies, hot cocoa, and conversation with your community about the vision for John Day in 2045. Click here for more details.
Want more opportunities to contribute? Community members are also invited to sign up for community focus group meetings. Please complete the following form by November 7th if you are interested in participating in two virtual small group meetings to provide further feedback and input on the proposed statements.

Your survey responses will be collected by Jensen Strategies on behalf of the City of John Day. The community vision survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete. Responses will be incorporated into summary themes or quotes, but will not individually identify anyone.
If you would prefer a written copy of the survey you can visit City Hall during business hours to pick up or turn in completed surveys there instead. Hard copies can be downloaded by clicking the 'Printable John Day 2045 Community Vision Survey' link below. Please submit either a digital or paper copy survey, but not both. If you would like to type your responses, please consider using the online version of the survey.
Time Extended! Surveys are due by Friday November 7, 2025
Don’t forget, completed surveys with contact information provided will be entered for a chance to win a $50 gift card! Terms apply.
Your input is essential to this work, THANK YOU!
Please tell a friend and help create the vision for John Day!
