The Vision is to transform the valley into a place where everyone can thrive and enjoy the renewed creek and its surrounding neighborhoods

THE VALUES OF THE VALLEY

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

We believe that job creation in the valley should provide employment opportunities for those who call the valley home today and that the entrepreneurial spirit of existing residents should be supported in a way that truly builds long-term wealth.

ENVIROMENTAL JUSTICE

For many years the Mill Creek and its surrounding neighborhoods were ignored, left behind and polluted. Those days are over. We believe that environmental justice and social justice are virtually one and the same. As we work to revitalize our communities we must keep ensuring we are not left behind again.

EQUITABLE CHANGE

While we believe the Mill Creek is a regional asset that belongs to everyone, we also believe that we must remain in control of our own destiny. Change that is led by the residents of the valley is the only equitable change.

EDUCATION &
RECREATION

Connecting the people, and particularly the youth, of the valley to educational opportunities related to the natural assets and clean-up efforts of the creek will create long-term inclusive outcomes for those who need it the most. Building recreational assets will increase our health and well being while also connecting us to the broader city and region.
