7th District Stategic Plan

11/18/2006 6:37 PM by

Sharon Burton, the Mayor’s 7th District Roundtable liaison, is circulating a document towards putting together a 7th District Strategic Plan.

7th District Strategic Plan

After reading the posts on chpn.net, I decided to try to organize the many ideas into categories. As the Mayor’s 7th District Roundtable liaison, I am providing an opportunity for residents of North and South of Broad, Fulton, Union Hill, Creighton Court, Fairfield Court, South Mosby Court, Central Church Hill, Chimborazo, and other defined neighborhoods to “come together to learn to look at the district from one another’s point of view and come with a list of top priorities for the 7th district” (Just144ice, www.chpn.net, Nov. 14, 2006).

Listed below are broad headings that several of you suggested. Under each heading is a list of goals. This is just a beginning and there will be opportunities for you to add to or take away from this list.

I need your help to write strategies for each broad goal. The list below will be presented Monday, Nov. 20, 2006 at the 7th District Roundtable meeting. I hope you will attend and volunteer to work on committees that will see these ideas further developed and implemented.
