Manistee Citizens for Responsible Development
Mission Statement
CFRD is a community organization working cooperatively to improve the
economic climate and the land, air, and water quality of Manistee and
the surrounding area. Our primary objective is to create a healthy and
viable future, based on a sustainable relationship with our natural
environment.
CFRD is committed to Manistee and the surrounding area through
responsible development and to promoting a greater awareness of the
dependent relationship that exists between us and our natural
environment.
We will build partnerships with other individuals, groups, agencies,
and organizations in developing and implementing cooperative solutions
to present and future economic challenges and concerns while being ever
mindful of the environmental impact these changes may present.
To achieve these ends, we will nurture and promote the intellectual
idealism of individuals and to channel that into a group opportunity for
its transformation into direct local action and impact. It is our
belief, that as a collective and diverse group, we have more power to
enact and effect change, than on an individual basis.
Let this mission statement serve as the foundation upon which we build
our future. Through this organization we will create a set of goals and
ideals for the common vision we hold.
