The new mission statement reads, “To work together to promote a unified and vibrant community by connecting people, ideas and resources to achieve the best future for the City of Peru and Peru State College.” The vision statement adds, “Peru will be a welcoming, thriving and engaged community with exceptional amenities that attract people to live, work, visit and learn.” There are now five planning teams meeting regularly to pursue the work of the group.
