Our Destiny
Thief River Falls will be a community that provides a high quality of life which enhances our status as a regional center for manufacturing and entrepreneurship in northern Minnesota. Our prosperity will have as its foundation an unmatched quality of life that attracts the talent we need to be successful. Our culture will support innovation, individuality and family values.
We will be the community that:
- works together to get things done,

- provides a robust calendar of activities appealing to all ages,
- promotes active involvement by all community members in civic life, and
- supports expanding opportunity for all.
How we'll get there...
As stewards, we believe that this process takes a collective, strategic, sustained civic effort.
- Collective: Our effort can have only one common strategic direction.
- Strategic : It doesn't make any difference how fast you are climbing if your ladder is on the wrong wall!
- Sustained: There are no short-term solutions to our long-term challenges
- Civic Effort: Implies an attitude of “we are all in this together”
