The idea here is to bite off a manageable chunk of the plan, involving the necessary implementers in that decision. That makes it their plan as well as yours. Prepare an annual status report of what's been done. This helps to keep everyone's feet to the fire. Do an update of the plan in a few years.
Every plan eventually becomes outdated.
By doing an annual action agenda and status report, you will be well on your way toward the preparation of an updated plan. Please note that this article is copyright protected by the Planning Commissioners Journal. For other use of the article, please contact the Planning Commissioners Journal .
