Quality of Life means to sustain a rich cultural, artistic, safe and recreationally-oriented environments that continue to contribute to the area’s desirability. Community Infrastructure means additional services and facilities are necessary to meet community expectations wherein new parks and open space, roadways, water facilities, town buildings and other infrastructure needs are required to strengthen the economic viability. Leadership is the ability to communicate a vision well, which in turn motivates people, transforming great ideas into action.” In the appendix, it is mentioned that a part of Oro Valley’s future is to not function as a “bedroom community” but to have all necessary amenities that allow people to live, work and play in Oro Valley.
