The following planning strategies will be researched during the development of the GO TO 2040 regional comprehensive plan. Most of these have been recommended for implementation by past plans; others, such as infrastructure privatization, have arisen as major issues recently. CMAP intends to conduct research on these strategies to determine what effect each strategy would have if it were implemented.
Please note that this is a draft list that is continually being expanded and changed through discussion with partner agencies and CMAP’s working committees. The finalized strategies will be evaluated to determine which are most effective at meeting regional goals. In the fourth stage of our planning process, several alternative future scenarios for the region's development will be created, each combining a number of planning strategies. For more information, download our Planning Process brochure (4.2 MB PDF).
