In diversity lies the strength and richness of a healthy <br />community. The people of New Brighton are proud of their diversity today, seeing it <br />as an asset, and want to strengthen people of all backgrounds and life stages to live <br />comfortably and be a part of the community. <br />PROVIDE A DIVERSE STOCK OF WELL <br />MAINTAINED HOUSING <br />Since people’s lives change as they age, so do their housing needs. The opportunity <br />to live in New Brighton for a lifetime requires a diverse stock of housing that satisfies <br />the lifestyle changes that will confront every resident. Housing diversity must also <br />answer the question “Where will our children live?” If they would prefer to live in <br />New Brighton there must be affordable housing of good quality to accommodate <br />them. As the population changes, housing must be adaptable and of enough variety to <br />meet future needs. <br />MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BUSINESS <br />ENVIRONMENT <br />While primarily a place to live, good jobs and a diversified tax base are important <br />to the community’s health. To have jobs in close proximity to homes also provides <br />some residents the opportunity to both live and work in New Brighton and thereby <br />minimize commute time and costs. Quality places to work and do business support <br />quality places to live while providing residents with convenient shops and services. <br />New Brighton will become a place where local businesses can thrive and grow. <br />PROVIDE A <br />DIVERSE STOCK <br />OF WELL <br />MAINTAINED <br />HOUSING <br />HAVE A DIVERSE <br />POPULATION <br />MAINTAIN <br />A HEALTHY <br />BUSINESS <br />ENVIRONMENT
