Mitchell Forward 2040, the process for envisioning Mitchell’s best future, is well underway.City administrator Stephanie Ellwein is pleased with the process so far and says Future IQ, the company managing the project, has been impressed with the quality of input.“About 1,300 individuals have responded to our surveys to date,” said Ellwein. “Future IQ has said that we have a highly engaged community, and they’ve been especially pleased with the number of people in their 30s and 40s participating, as well as with the youth participation.”Ellwein says the younger population pushes for more change.“We had high school students who said, ‘Make this a place I can come back to,’” she said. “We have also had a good mix of newcomers and longtime residents, those who live in town and rural residents ... it’s just a nice variety.”There are several pieces of information available on the web portal for the public to view. Reports include:• Details from the original think tank workshop in March.• The community profile benchmark report, which compares Mitchell to similar communities across the country.• A data visualization section with all the data gathered from the online community survey. Filters allow you to explore responses to the survey by various stakeholder groups. The survey is still open for individuals who have not yet completed it, so the data is continually updated.On Sept. 9, the think tank will reconvene with the original participants, however Ellwein says there is room for additional people to be involved.“People may email me or Sonya Moller at the Chamber if they want

to participate,” she said.The next steps will involve the determination of Mitchell’s strategic pillars, those key areas where ideas converge, and priorities are set. Once the pillars are fine-tuned, there will be a community presentation, and then the Community Vision & Strategic Action Plan will be adopted.“From that point forward, our community decision-making should rely on those pillars to determine projects and issues,” said Ellwein. “This process should provide our roadmap to ensure that Mitchell continues to thrive and grow in an organized, planned manner into the future.”
