Creating Your Quality-Of-Life Plan... Implementing the plan
The greatest comprehensive community development plan in the world doesn’t do any good if it’s sitting on a shelf. It’s time to put all those hours of planning into action!

If you haven’t already done so, now is a good time to assign priorities to your projects. Some can be tackled immediately and accomplished within a period of months; these are your short-term projects. Others may require some building blocks to be in place, or demand resources that aren’t yet available. These are medium-term projects that you may wish to tackle in years two and three of your plan.

Finally, you’ll have some long-term projects you may not be able to start for several years. Work toward them—and keep them in your vision. They’re the projects you’ll need to complete to make your neighborhood truly great!

   
Creating you Quality-of-Life Plan... Revisiting the Plan
No comprehensive community development plan is ever really final—or ever really finished. New challenges and opportunities arise every year. So you’ll want to be sure to revisit your plan in its entirety periodically to track your progress, make sure the projects you identified still make sense, and add new projects to address new needs.

Remember, it’s important to work on projects that offer measurable results. You’ll need to measure your progress based on the yardsticks you agreed to in your planning process.

And don’t forget that people and organizations change in your neighborhood, too. Revisiting your plan from time to time is a good way to get new people involved in helping you create a Great Indy Neighborhood.
Each year we revisit the neighborhood plan as we develop our annual goals. This ensures that every program continues to build toward a vision set by the community.
