Our Story |
|
Connect Clermont was built on a simple but powerful belief: when neighbors come together around a shared vision, our community thrives.
In 1988, Clermont County leadership convened in a community-wide conversation about the future. Volunteers drafted a report that called on residents, businesses, and elected officials to pursue key economic development and quality-of-life improvements over the coming decade.
By 2012, these conversations continued in churches, conference rooms, and kitchen tables, resulting in Clermont’s Agenda For The Future – 2014, with goals that aimed to improve:
As the effort transitioned from planning to implementation, it became clear that a dedicated structure was necessary to sustain the community’s momentum. Connect Clermont was formed as the means to achieve that structure.
Today, we look for opportunities to infuse our community with the resources it needs for a brighter future. Through Good News, Good Works, and Good Deeds, we continue to inform, engage, and activate our proud Clermont Community.
