Our Mission
People Committed To Protecting Coalville’s Rural Heritage
Coalville for Responsible Growth is a citizen group that supports well- balanced and well-planned growth. We seek to honor Coalville’s rural heritage while welcoming new people and ideas to our community. We recognize that growth will inevitably bring change to our community, and we embrace the reality of change when it is done responsibly. We advocate for fairness to all parties impacted by growth – existing residents, future residents, local leaders, and the developers themselves. Development should be a collaborative effort that harmonizes the needs and visions of a
community, with the desires of the builder.
Land use planning and zoning should remain in the sphere of municipal control, supported and influenced by citizen input. We believe residents know their community best, and have a vested interest in how their community is shaped and influenced by growth.
