Sense of Community

Cameron County values the Sense of Community created by our people and fostered by our scenic communities and the slower pace of life that make us so unique.

• We value the people we call neighbors, finding them kind, friendly, hardworking individuals who make our communities feel secure and welcoming.
• We revere the community spirit felt between residents -where we know one another and come together with a willingness to help in times of need.
• We treasure the slow pace, quiet nature of neighborhoods and boroughs-where our tree lined streets and valley-nestled communities inspire a familiar feeling a home.

Local Economy

Cameron County values our local businesses, industries, and entrepreneurs who are the backbone of our local economy and the heartbeat of our communities, while acknowledging the potential our county offers for expanded amenities and industry.

Accessibility

Cameron County values walkable communities, the safe travel between each of our municipalities and the ability to easily navigate our vast dirt road and trail system.

Arts & Heritage

Cameron County cherishes sharing our rich history and coming together to celebrate our community and artisans through year round community events, throughout county.

Youth Wellbeing

Cameron County values the well-being of our young, adolescent, and teenage residents. We believe in supporting their educational and athletic pursuits and are committed to offering them a variety of opportunities to participate and recreate within our county.

​These values are our shared, non-negotiables as changes come to our area, as decisions are made on our behalf, and as we look toward a vibrant future. These create the common ground of our shared Cam Co  Identity as residents and neighbors.
We thank you for entrusting your almost 500 stories with us, your time and thoughts and ideas as we worked toward finding the heart and soul of this county we all share, but view through 4600 different lens. 
Our work is not over, though, these values are the foundation of where we're going, as we look toward prioritizing all the ideas you have to preserve, to honor, and to reinvigorate Cameron County as we draft YOUR action plan, a resident-driven and resident-envisioned, Cam Co Proud Call to Action Plan.
