Vision in Action

All elements of the Countywide Vision are in action and our efforts are moving us closer to acheiving the goals of a complete county.

We partner with local business and educators to help us produce an educated workforce capable of sustaining our economic prosperity in the future.

We partner with water agencies to conserve and plan for the future of our communities and environment.

We establish goals for health and wellness and remove physical and psychological barriers to healthy habits.

Vision2Read

Reading at grade level by third grade is one of the greatest predictors of children’s success in school, their likelihood of going to college, and their future earning potential.1

In support of the Countywide Vision and the Regional Goal of supporting every child from cradle to career, the Vision2Read initiative is a year-long campaign designed to

  • Focus attention on the importance of reading;
  • Highlight literacy-related programs and services throughout San Bernardino County; and
  • Connect people to available literacy resources and/or volunteer opportunities.

Vision2Read invites all of San Bernardino County to join this effort and help “raise the bar” for literacy in our community and advance our efforts to achieve the Countywide Vision. Visit www.Vision2Read.com for more information.

Water: Countywide Water Inventory



Countywide Water Inventory: A group made up of the county's water agencies, business representatives and other stakeholders was formed to come up with solutions to challenges faced by our growing county as it strives to meet water needs.

The group determined that acting separately, the county would not have enough water through 2035, but when water agencies' resources are combined, more than enough water exists to meet the needs of San Bernardino County residents and businesses through 2035. But that is only if water users step-up conservation efforts and the public and local government leaders are willing to invest in projects that will store and protect additional water supplies.

In December 2012, the Countywide Water Inventory was honored when it earned the 2012 Good Government Award from the Building Industry Association Baldy View Chapter.
