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.
