Identity & Inclusiveness

Identity

Our strong community identity is effectively communicated formally-and informally-through innovative citizen involvement.

  • Residents always identify their home address as Golden Valley instead of Minneapolis.
  • Well-designed signs mark major entrances to the city.
  • Newsletters, the Web, community kiosks, email networks, and public access television keep residents of all ages informed and excited about the community.
