Complete Listing of the Notes
The major goal was to produce a strategic plan that has clear steps for implementation and can guide the city's future allocation of resources. We also created an ongoing process by which actions of stakeholders can be harnessed to help implement this plan. Importantly, the process was designed to involve a diverse cross-section of people from our community - specifically, those who have never participated in such efforts in the past - to generate new ideas, new relationships, and a broad commitment to the ongoing work needed to create the future of Covington.
