used as a criteria for decision-making and goals framework
“ The City of Mission, Kansas is an inviting, sustainable and inclusive city that genuinely embraces
people of all ages and backgrounds, respects and nurtures healthy environments and puts
people first. We are a vital connection point for easy access to the entire metro area and we
recognize our important role as a connector of people and places and prosperity.
Our citizens benefit from our unique position in the metro area and our commitment
to providing a quality of life that is distinctly different from other cities. We do this by
emphasizing and constantly improving our walkable neighborhoods and diverse housing
options. We encourage continued growth and economic development of our eclectic
downtown that respects its history, scale and authentic character. We invest in sustainable
practices for our public infrastructure, parks and trails. We connect our neighborhoods and
businesses with multi-modal transportation options with special consideration for all ages and
incomes. Our continuing commitment to these key principles relies on the active and ever-
improving civic involvement of our residents and a shared focus on Tomorrow Together.
We look forward to and embrace the many changes we will experience in the 21st century and
plan ahead of time for new technologies and opportunities that will connect our residents and “
protect and prolong our quality of life. Mission is a great place to grow up and grow old.
