Iowa 2010 Strategic Planning Process 8.
Work groups develop action plans.
Action plans are the steps that must be taken in order to implement the goals that will ensure Iowa will be a truly sustainable state in the year 2010. Action plans define what needs to be done, who will do it, when it will be done, what resources will be required, what will be the desired outcome and how will the outcome be measured. An example of a plan in support of 20 percent increase in small business is making low interest loans available to small businesses for start-ups and expansions. The loans are made possible through the establishment of a legislative loan guarantee program funded over the next 10 years.
