==Our Sustainable Community==

'''This is the statement in the City Comprehensive Plan approved by our City Council that establishes sustainability as a guiding principle.''' 

Mercer Island strives to be a sustainable community--meeting the needs of the present while preserving the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.  We consider the relationship between the decisions we make as a community and their long-term impacts before committing to them. We understand that our strength is dependent on an open decision-making process that takes into account the economic, environmental and social well-being of our community.
