newton transformation

Newton Transformation is a grassroots effort intended to model the attributes of successful communities by demonstrating evidence of strong community pride and inclusive culture.

The Newton Transformation Council is an umbrella organization that does not replace existing organizations and is made up of public and private resources. The intent of the Council is to stimulate positive growth and employment opportunities for Newton and the Region. It is also intended to creatively build new economic opportunities, support local businesses and to help create a community that is self-reliant.

The Action Teams are volunteers who are working on projects which align with the Community Vision statement and are integral in moving the Community from its vision to the new reality.

Community Vision
Newton aspires to become a center of excellence with world-class education, technology, research and development, and an innate culture of entrepreneurship. We seek to embrace and support diverse businesses and create enterprises that will put Newton on the map as a quality community of choice. We strive to create systems that fuel the world with renewable energy, and we desire to celebrate our gourmet foods that are premium, natural and high in value. We wish to epitomize the quality community: smart, innovative, safe, fun and cool. We aim to be the center for festivals and events that celebrate the arts and culture. Newton will exemplify the positive, small-town feel where rewarding opportunities enrich the lives of us all.

This vision was created by 300+ members of the community on September 21, 2006.
