Abstract
A strategic plan helps a community focus. Every day communities are faced with choices. A strategic plan helps a community make choices that will lead it in a single direction towards a defined goal or vision. Often, communities have limited budgets and few people. Because of this, actions need to have priorities and limited resources must be used efficiently andeffectively. A strategic plan will help with daily decision making and with allocating human and financialresources effectively. A strategic planning process will answer three basic questions: • Where are we now? •Where do we want to go? How will we get there? It will also help a community understand areas of strength and weakness. Strengths will likely provide a community with advantages over other communities in a given area or industry sector. Weaknesses might lead to disadvantages that need to be overcome. Answering the second question sets a community’s vision for the future. The goal of economic development is to increase the level of prosperity in a community. Prosperity may be viewed differently by different people in a community. While some may view prosperity as the creation of jobs and increasing incomes, others may view prosperity as increasing housing for people without homes. The final question will help guide a community in creating a set of actions to be completed over time that will move the community towards achieving the long term vision. While the vision for the community is to be achieved over the longer term, actions will be performed in the near and medium term serving as steps toward the long term vision. There are a number of ways for a community to answer the three questions in creating an economic development strategic plan. Typically the process will include a review of background documents written about the local community and the broader national and global economy, a look at statistics that describe the characteristics of the community such as the age and education levels of the population as well as the industry and occupations they work in. The process also usually includes reaching out to members of the community including business and community leaders and residents of the community.
