Launched in May 2008, BoldFuture for the Coastal Bend is a visioning initiative by and for the people of the Coastal Bend. Its mission: to create a long-range vision for Corpus Christi, Nueces County, San Patricio County, Texas, and surrounding areas. By envisioning a shared, preferred future developed by a comprehensive action plan, BoldFuture will help ensure a safer, healthier, and brighter future for years to come.

Vision for the Community
We envision a vibrant, prosperous Coastal Bend that balances its growth and quality of life, blending big city attractions with a small town feel. Building on a diverse mix of industry and small businesses, our economy provides an abundance of family wage jobs and opportunities for our youth. Access to excellent education, from early childhood to graduate programs, prepares our students for learning, for work and for life. The “best and brightest” are increasingly drawn to and remain in our community.

Coastal Bend growth is well planned, with vital urban areas, ample parks and open spaces, excellent transportation and modern infrastructure. We have great pride of place in our redeveloped downtowns, revitalized Bayfront, lively commercial centers across the region, and safe, clean neighborhoods We celebrate our diverse heritage and enjoy a culture rich in music, arts and ntertainment.Together, we are unified behind a shared vision and have forged greater collaboration in achieving our BoldFuture for the Coastal Bend.
