VISION STATEMENT

Our vision for Grantville in the year 2030 is for the improvement and reestablishment of an older neighborhood in central San Diego. We envision an attractive, balanced community with a desirable quality of life that capitalizes on its proximity to a network of freeways, trolley lines, natural environment, waterways, and open spaces. In the year 2030, Grantville is a community that…

• Respects the vitality and livelihood of locally owned and operated businesses while promoting the expansion of new business opportunities;
• Contains an appropriate mix of auto, pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation opportunities for optimum mobility;
• Offers a variety of housing opportunities while considering neighborhood scale and integrity;
• Connects residents and visitors to the San Diego River while providing safe and adequate buffers from developed areas; and
• Contains sufficient public facility amenities such as neighborhood and community parks, libraries, schools, and emergency services.
