A general plan’s vision and guiding principles provide direction and introduce key themes. All the goals, policies, and implementation programs must be consistent with the vision and guiding principles.

• What is a Vision? A vision statement is an aspirational description of what the community would like to be in the future.
• What are Guiding Principles? At the heart of the General Plan are “Guiding Principles” that express the key values and aspirations for Siskiyou County’s future and act as guideposts for the goals, policies, and implementation measures contained within the General Plan.
