LETTER FROM THE MAYOR

October 2025

Hello Hillsboro Community Members!

I am honored to present you with this second update of our Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan. For more than 25 years, Hillsboro’s visioning program has provided a direct opportunity for the people who live, work, learn and play here to shape the way our community grows and evolves.

The City’s original guiding document, the Hillsboro 2020 Vision & Action Plan, was first adopted in 2000. Since then, the City and our partners have worked together to implement hundreds of community-driven priorities, including:

• Children's Museum
• Community Gardens
• Hidden Creek Park West
• Hillsboro Hops Ballpark
• Hondo Dog Park
• Tom Hughes Civic Center Plaza
• Walters Cultural Arts Center
• Wingspan Event and Conference Center

These are just a few of the many community ideas that have come to life throughout all of Hillsboro. This updated community plan ensures many more community ideas are yet to come.

Thank you to the many individuals and organizations who contribute to the vision program's success including:

• Community members who share their ideas and vision for Hillsboro
• Nonprofit community partners and government agencies implementing 2035 Plan actions
• Community Engagement Committee members who connect with community members and share information about the 2035 Plan
• Environmental Stewardship Committee members who guide implementation of Environmental Stewardship focus area
• Hillsboro City Council which continues to support and prioritize the vision program

Together we are co-creating this beautiful, innovative, inclusive, welcoming, and safe place we all call home. I look forward to growing more great things together in the years ahead.

Sincerely,

Mayor Beach Pace
City of Hillsboro
