Montverde is a uniquely impressive
place to live. Rolling hills and the canopy of trees define our rural
community. In light of the imminent growth and ongoing development in the
South Lake region, four guiding principles have established the Montverde vision
to ensure the quality of life that we wish to enjoy for the coming generations.
History - Montverde is embedded with a rich history for
which it is essential that we preserve as it defines our identity and is a
source of pride. The history and culture that uniquely defines our
Town is available for all to appreciate. This includes archeological
sites, historic buildings and cemetery, the birthplace of Snapper mowers,
etc.
Traditional Values - Child-friendly parks and venues
that encourage family outings and gatherings are the cornerstone of our
Town. Annual family events provide opportunities for neighbors to
meet and connect. A climate of volunteerism is fostered for a
"Neighbor helping Neighbor" climate where kindness prevails.
Safety - Our town will sleep comfortably at night knowing
that excellent fire and police protection will ensure the safety of
residents and their families. Streets will be designed to be
pedestrian and bike friendly. Effective traffic control and
management will encourage safe outdoor activity and reinforce the small
town ambiance.
Community and Environmental Health - Partnering with
the local medical and fitness community provides numerous opportunities
for sports and fitness events, in addition to community health education
and screening. Bide paths and fitness stops coupled with the
preserved wildlife habitat provide numerous ways for individuals to enjoy
a healthy outdoors lifestyle. Improvement of infrastructure is
essential to ensure the protection and conservation of our natural
resources. A sewage and waste treatment system will ensure clean
lakes and potable water from the aquifer. Wildlife and water
conservation measures will guarantee that our natural resources and rural
lifestyles are preserved.
This is our Vision... knowing that
our tomorrow begins with today.
