Your voice is powerful. The stories and experiences that have shaped your life and perspective have value. 

​

By capturing those memories and ideas, we can understand what those that live, work, & love Salem want for our city. Those words- your words- will help shape plans for years to come. 

​

The only way this program will be successful is by being inclusive of every voice and perspective. 

​

Your words will shape the future. Heart & Soul Statements are officially adopted by town and city councils, incorporated into comprehensive and other plans, and are used to guide future policies and decisions.
