Vision Västernorrland 2010
Västernorrland gives opportunity and diversity is the county
motto. It expresses a vision that represents a strategy for
sustainable regional development, and the overall strategy
document for regional development work in Västernorrland
County coordinated by the County Administrative Board.
The aim of the vision is more effi cient utilisation of resources
through collaboration. When different players and parts
of the county complement each other instead of competing,
the whole is greater than its parts. The foundations have been
laid for a united effort, with the separate strengths of players
and different areas in the county interacting in regional
development work.
The vision was arrived at through broad collaboration in
the county, against the background of a thorough analysis
of the county’s resources and how they relate to trends in the
world around us. Based on the motto Västernorrland gives
opportunity and diversity, the vision sets seven long-term goals
for the county and identifi es as many actions in the form of
strategically important areas for the county’s development in
order to achieve these development goals.
As the overall strategy document for the county’s development
work, the Vision gives guidance for county-based sector
programmes, such as the Regional Growth Programme, the
county transport plan, the heritage programme, the strategy
for rural development and the development strategy for the
visitor industry.
