Vision Edina

How will Edina continue to define excellence over the next 20 to 25 years?

Vision Edina was a broad-based, inclusive community visioning process culminating in a Vision Edina Strategic Vision and Framework for the community. Future iQ, an international firm specializing in future visioning, served as the consultants on the project.

Vision Edina worked with local residents, organizations and businesses to explore:

  • What is unique and important about living in Edina?
  • Where is there opportunity or need to evolve or change?
  • How can we continue to progress to keep the city relevant and attractive to current and future residents and businesses?
  • What is our competitive edge?
