Creating a Vision for Florida
The Council is pleased to be a partner with the Century Commission for a Sustainable Florida.
Created by the Legislature in 2005, the Century Commission for a Sustainable Florida was formed to envision Florida’s next 50 years, and to make specific recommendations to the Governor and Legislature about how to realize that future.
Led by its Chair, Mayor Rick Baker of St. Petersburg, the Century Commission has identified the 12 “Essential State Interests” that must be addressed if we are to create a sustainable Florida. The Commission has begun the deliberate and data-based study of these issues, how they relate to each other, and how they will affect our future.
The Century Commission is committed to looking beyond the significant crises of the day in order to build a consensus on how we will address the even greater challenges facing us in the next generations.
Its mission is to serve as a catalyst for encouraging long-range, data-based planning and implementation of sustainable development policies and practices that ensure a strong economy, healthy environment and vibrant quality of life for Florida. The Commission is an advocate for stronger interdependent action amongst state, regional and local governments.
The Commission is committed to ensuring that Florida remains a desirable place to live for future generations. You can help the Commission create a vision for Florida and Tell Us About Your Florida at www.CenturyCommission.org.
