3.0 Implementation
During the process of preparing the Comprehensive Plan, including
the charrette, public surveys, focus group sessions and public presentations,
goals for the future were identified. These goals will guide the
type and scale of growth and enable the Village to maintain a high
quality-of-life for its residents. They will also provide guidance
and support for the business community. Below each goal are policy
statements, which further define the goal; the policies are then
accompanied by actions that identify specific ways the Village can
achieve the stated goal.
