Our vision for Orion is a destination where the community
works, lives, and enjoys the benefits of a small town atmosphere, close to
major metropolitan areas and convenience, but not isolated from culture,
entertainment, and retail opportunities. It is a place where people desire to
live and raise families.
Those who work downtown enjoy a real sense of community and
the conveniences of a downtown location. During the noon hour, people are on their way to the bank, library,
drug store, or to lunch, all within minutes of each other. Some may sit in one
of two parks, enjoy the open spaces and take in the sun. Youth breathe life
into the community while patronizing the library, two parks, and an excellent
school system.
The arts would be an active part of people's life. Families
congregate at monthly events and concerts. They enjoy an outstanding library
and a stroll through a peaceful, safe community. They meet with friends for
summer movies under the stars or to listen to band music.
A short walk from your car or home to your destination is a
delightful experience of sights, sounds and smells. You pass a boutique, a
restaurant, a flower shop; a local merchant passes you, smiles and greets you
with a "good afternoon." You think to yourself that coming to Orion is always a
pleasurable experience.
