The plan strives to protect natural resources and habitats, respect the diversity and character of established communities, increase transportation choices, encourage housing that meets the needs of every family, and connect vibrant places.
Town hall meetings are taking place throughout the county so residents can learn about the principles of Vison 2050, as well as how to share their thoughts using online tools and resources.

Orange County is in one of the fastest growing regions in the United States. The Bureau of Economic & Business Research (BEBR) of the University of Florida estimates that by 2050, our population will increase by 700,000 people, with a total population expected to exceed 2.1 million. To prepare for this future in a smart and responsible way, Orange County has created Vision 2050 – an initiative that will guide us towards responsible growth and greater resilience.
