Grenada County Build Better Together 2040 Plan

Ongoing Community Outreach and Engagement

All review processes and updates related to this Grenada County 2040 Plan should emphasize and incorporate
ongoing public input. The annual and
continual plan evaluation and reporting
processes should also incorporate specific
performance measures and quantitative
indicators that can be compiled and
communicated both internally and to
elected officials, residents and other plan
stakeholders and partners in a “report
card” fashion. Examples of such indicators
might include:

 Acres of new development (plus number of residential units by type, and square footage of commercial
and industrial space) approved and constructed in conformance with local development regulations.
 Measures of service capacity (e.g., gallons of potable water per day) added to the area's utility
infrastructure systems – and the number of dollars allocated to fund the necessary capital projects.

 New and expanded businesses, added jobs and associated tax revenue gains through economic
development initiatives.
 Lane miles of new or rehabilitated road, plus bicycle, pedestrian, transit and other transportation system
improvements that increase mobility options.
 Acres of parkland and preserved public open space added to the area's inventory, utilization measures
for new or improved recreation spaces (e.g., park visitation counts), and linear feet of trail developed or
improved.
 Indicators of the benefits from redeveloped sites and structures (appraised value, increased tax revenue,
new residential units, retail and office spaces in mixed-use settings, etc.).
 The numbers of residents and other stakeholders engaged through ongoing education and outreach
events related to Plan implementation, as well as periodic Plan review and updating as outlined in this
section.
