The issues will change but they will be resolved if a structure is in place.

In order for that to be accomplished there must be a community vision. The product of that vision would be principles upon which each unit of government could build. It is critical that all elected officials be involved in this project. Regular reports need to be given to each of the elected bodies. Equally important is the inclusion of all grass roots groups. This would eventuate in a shared sense of community. Land Use will be the main focus, however, many other issues will be involved. A discussion concerning how to best implement a comprehensive quality growth strategy followed. It was suggested that this plan needs to be implemented in phases, starting with land use planning.
