plans/strategies

Project Outcomes
• A regional plan that is a platform for elevating local strategies and needs to a regional level
• A coordinated regional vision for economic prosperity, quality growth, and sustainability that allows the region to achieve more by working together than can be accomplished separately
• Coordination of needs/planning across various subject areas so that limited resources can be used more effectively
• Positions the region well for future funding opportunities (through Preferred Sustainability Status, by qualifying for funds contingent upon completion of this process, and other opportunities this plan will support)
