About the Civility First Campaign
Civility First Farmington was created by the City of Farmington's Community Relations Commission to promote positive relations and mutual goodwill while extending a welcoming hand to all who live in or visit our community.
As both a commercial and cultural hub, Farmington entertains a large number of visitors, shoppers, and area residents who depend on the area's commercial, recreational, and educational opportunities. The mission of Civility First Farmington is to promote community, elevate customer/business appreciation, and to celebrate unity within diversity.
Through an intensive public awareness campaign, community education, and by rewarding quality service, it is the goal of Civility First Farmington to make Farmington and its neighboring communities a more hospitable, harmonious, and productive place for all.
The campaign consists of ten character traits that promote positive interactions, mutual respect, and social harmony and is designed to reach all who live, work, or play in the Farmington area.
From the youngest to the oldest, we can all live Civility First.
