Hillsboro is a city with eyes on the future. With the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan, the city brought together over 5,000 community members to help with shaping the vision of the future, what the community would like to see manifest for their city by 2035. The plan has action baked right in and many of those visions for the future are already a reality. Community enhancements include the Tom Hughes Civic Center Plaza, the Hondo Dog Park, the Walters Cultural Art Center, community gardens, and diverse housing opportunities. They have also put a big emphasis on many community events that are appropriate for the whole family.
