| Every successful quality communities effort begins with fashioning
a vision for the community. Regardless of the name a community
gives it —— visioning, strategic planning, neighborhood
brainstorming —— the single most important factor
for success is the assurance that everyone has had meaningful
participation in the final result. The State should identify
programs that help communities create a comprehensive vision
based on contributions of ideas, skills and talents from as
many of its members as possible. Further, the Task Force has
seen that, when communities are able to turn some portion of
their vision into a redevelopment project quickly, they manage
to do more and to maintain revitalization momentum over time.
The State should focus existing community development resources
on spark plug projects which can implement short-term visions
and bolster a community's momentum for the long term. |
