| At this point, you should have lots
of people from your neighborhood involved with the visioning
process and the idea of comprehensive community development in
your neighborhood. It’s important that you harness the energy
and enthusiasm of all of these supportive people. So the next
step is to create committees to explore ideas and make
recommendations based on the Eleven Principles of Healthy
Neighborhoods. Your committees should be made up of a broad and balanced mix of
community stakeholders, leaders, and partners identified in
previous steps of the process. Each committee begins with the
information you gathered at the start of your quality-of-life
planning process, plus the vision for the neighborhood you
created at your visioning workshop. The committees will use
these elements to begin to discuss the important aspects of
their chosen topics. Discussion should revolve around the
community’s assets and opportunities for improvement.
Be sure you set deadlines for recommendations from your
committees. You’ll need their input for the next step: hammering
out the details of your quality-of-life plan. |
