The <br />Planning Board should therefore take a leading, proactive role in guiding and developing <br />growth. It has to set the pace. <br />Additionally, we should have a role at the end of the process, in order to hear feedback from <br />other entities and determine how successful our planning as been so far. Foresight requires <br />hindsight. <br />As part of the ever-growing Triangle, I see issues such transportation, housing, and education <br />being vitally important. We must successfully tackle these issues for the purpose of <br />accommodating higher levels of commerce, growing neighborhoods, and the needs of the <br />children that live in these growing neighborhoods. <br />How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of <br />the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? <br />I would be a part of those informing the Board of Commissioners about what those things should be. Once those <br />goals and priorities are handed to us, it would be up to us to envision how to make them possible, much like how <br />orders are passed along in the military to next level down. <br />38
