GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Nassau Bay will be BALANCED in its approach to development, encouraging revitalization of older housing stock and
commercial areas, while seeking to both maintain the character of the residential community and create more amenities
for existing and future residents (restaurants, retail, arts/culture, etc.).

Nassau Bay will be ACTIVE by encouraging a healthy community and lifestyles through support for the City’s parks and
natural assets, including the waterfront, and by involving residents and businesses to help ensure safe and secure
neighborhoods and well-supported public safety services.

Nassau Bay will be COMMUNITY-MINDED by listening and responding to resident’s concerns, maintaining high customer
service, encouraging civic participation, and by preserving the “small town feel” of the community.

Nassau Bay will be RESILIENT as it prepares for the future, pro-actively investing in infrastructure, public safety,
emergency preparedness and elements that will make the community stronger while working to ensure the City remains
fiscally sustainable through a diverse economy, revitalized commercial corridors, and a bolstered tax base.

Nassau Bay will be COLLABORATIVE in addressing opportunities and challenges, seeking local and regional partnerships
to effectively address transportation, economic development, tourism, infrastructure, security, resiliency, and quality of life
needs.
