Community Vision Plan

With the input of more than 1,000 citizens, the Hopkinsville-Christian County community developed a Community Vision Plan. The result of this comprehensive process is a roadmap to success with objectives, action steps and outcomes leading the way. Elected officials, business and leaders, along with many passionate citizens are together leading the charge in making Hopkinsville the community it's residents desire that it become.  If you are interested in volunteering to help Hopkinsville and Christian County see OUR vision become a continuing reality, please visit the Community Vision Plan website.
