Sustainability, Inclusion, Excellence

Columbia Tomorrow is a citizens advocacy organization established to help create a more sustainable, inclusive and attractive community that strives for excellence”

Our members believe that Columbia is a unique place with a rich history. It is a “New Town” founded just 40 years ago by James Rouse with the intention of becoming a complete city that respects the natural environment while providing for the growth of people.

Today, we the citizens of Columbia must take ownership of the vision and we must ensure that we leave our city better than we found it.

Columbia is not perfect – indeed it will never be, but we must work to develop and support the leadership, the institutions, the built environment and the culture components that will ensure vitality, diversity and the ability to regenerate excellence for each new generation that all successful cities have.

Columbia Tomorrow seeks to develop partnerships with the Columbia Association, Howard County government, business leaders, nonprofit organizations, developers and other institutions that are necessary for Columbia’s tomorrow to be better than today,

Columbia Tomorrow is interested in such issues as the Columbia Association’s responsible partnership in the redevelopment of downtown, village revitalization, environmental sustainability, full spectrum housing, viable transportation options, and inclusion of all people in planning for the future of the community.
