Dream Extreme 2040 is the City’s FIRST long -term strategic plan to assist the City in its pursuit of achieving its vision. The plan is a living document that will be updated regularly and serve as the framework to guide all decision- making over the next 20 years by identifying key Anchors, Aspirations, and Strategies.
Our Vision is that the City of Lake Elsinore will be the ultimate destination where all can live, work, play, build futures, and fulfill dreams.
The Anchors are the City of Lake Elsinore’s unique community assets and opportunities: The Lake, Downtown, and Action and Adventure.
