From the community forums that were held during the Flagstaff 2020 visioning process, it is apparent that growth was one of the major concerns in Flagstaff during the mid-1990s. The Managing Growth Action Team reported that in the year 2020, they hoped to see well-planned growth with protected open spaces, access to public transportation, and well-maintained road systems. Their goal was to ensure that Flagstaff would be a livable community for all its residents for generations to come.
