The goal of the plan is to provide the greatest possible benefit to the general public. The Association will function as a conduit for communication between the area residents, owners and visitors and Nevada and Placer County and other appropriate agencies which influence the growth and development of the Donner Summit Area. The long range plan developed by the Association will guide the Association's response to proposals for development and growth through regular contact with County Supervisors and attendance at County Supervisor Board meetings the Association will maintain current knowledge of proposals which affect the Donner Summit Area and be able to comment upon these proposals in a timely manner. The Association will also be able to bring proposals and suggestions to the appropriate authorities for consideration.

In particular the Association desires to enhance the attractiveness of Soda Springs and the surrounding area for visitors, residents and businesses.
