As Tolland grows and changes, we are committed to enriching the lives of all our citizens by ensuring that a high quality of facilities and programs is maintained; that the type of services we provide reflect our population and its needs; that we exercise proper stewardship of our natural resources; and that we remain vigilant of balancing our desires with need and cost.

Our Guiding Principles:

• Serve the greatest number of citizens by offering a broad range of programs and activities reflecting our ages, interests and abilities.

• Provide and maintain high quality facilities and ensure the safety of those who use them.

• Where possible, integrate active and passive uses and provide physical linkages to trails and greenways so that a network of facilities, civic/public uses, commercial areas, and residences is created.

• In evaluating priorities, exercise fiscal responsibility by comparing short term temporary actions with long term permanent solutions.

• Assume a proactive posture in anticipating needs for the future, working with other Town agencies and preparing contingencies.

• Monitor on-going needs, demands, and desires so that appropriate facilities and programs can be planned and effectively implemented through the Capital Improvement Program.
