OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE

We are at a critical juncture in our state’s history. Now is the time for Kansans to come together and be bold as we contemplate our vision and strategies to enable growth and prosperity in our state. As we look to the future, it is critical for us to ensure that we continue to harness the strengths in Kansas and address our challenges head on. Accordingly, the Framework for Growth incorporates a bold vision that is defined in key increments to be achieved over time.

5 YEARS 10 YEARS 15 YEARS

Stabilize and reposition (2021 – 2025)

Reverse negative trends and set a clear growth trajectory by building a foundation through initiation of new programs, policies, and investments.

Punch above our weight (2026 – 2030)

As investments begin to yield substantive gains, they drive our competitive position in key economic outcomes to the top half of all states.

Realize a “future proof” economy (2031 – 2035)

New approaches will have become ingrained, effects will be compounded and the return on investment will be evident as our state emerges with a reputation as a disruptor rather than the disrupted.

As we look to the future, it is critical for us to ensure that we continue to harness the strengths in Kansas and address our challenges head on.
