Our Valley Our Future: A Community-Driven Initiative
Founded in 2015 by local leaders after a TEDx Conference in Wenatchee, Our Valley Our Future emerged to tackle pressing regional challenges such as the closure of the Alcoa plant, wildfires, and a housing crisis. Initially named Our Valley What’s Next, the organization gained recognition in the America’s Best Communities competition, which helped fund the development of a comprehensive community plan. Today, it focuses on collaborative engagement to create a long-range vision for the Lake Chelan Valley.
