The City of Garland values neighborhoods as core building blocks of a great community.   The Strategy for Vital Neighborhoods strives to capitalize on the resources of our many community partners, neighbors, city services, businesses, and nonprofits.  Through a sense of shared pride, responsibility, and common goals among stakeholders, Garland will continue to be an excellent community in which to live, work, and play.

We envision a community with attractive, vital neighborhoods where strong social connections among diverse stakeholders and innovative partnerships foster a sense of confidence and continued investment.  Our safe neighborhoods with their distinct identities will enjoy access to a variety of services, leisure and entertainment amenities, quality infrastructure, thriving businesses, and excellence in the delivery of City services.

The Mission of the Strategy for Vital Neighborhoods is to bring community stakeholders together in partnership with the City of Garland to coordinate resources; and to support neighbors in creating and achieving the desired vision for their area.
