Heartland 2060 Home

The Central Florida Regional Planning Council began a visioning effort for Florida’s Heartland, entitled Heartland 2060, in September 2007. Heartland 2060 encompasses seven counties in Central Florida, including Polk, Hardee, Highlands, DeSoto, Okeechobee, Glades, and Hendry. We are creating a vision for the future that enables growth while: Preserving natural areas and protecting wildlife and agricultural production Supporting healthy communities, large and small Ensuring a vibrant economic and social life Establishing a clear vision will enable us to preserve our unique values, a mix of urban and rural lifestyles, and natural resources, all while supporting sustainable growth and development of our communities. This website is just the starting point to enhance Heartland 2060 public awareness and involvement. Although it is still under construction, the core values and issues the Heartland faces are addressed and we appreciate your patience in its development. We thank you for your interest in this endeavor and hope that this website will help you envision our vision! TASK FORCE LEADERSHIP TEAM
