Southeast Quality of Life Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan PROJECT PRIORITIES AND THE OVERALL STRATEGY The strategic planning process used in the development of this plan relies heavily on input from the public and task force members. The selection of projects and setting priorities for their implementation also respects the importance of community involvement in selection of specific projects. The selection of projects and the setting of priorities significantly influences the overall strategy to guide the implementation of the plan. Furthermore, the overall strategy is dependent upon the level of commitment by the neighborhood in the implementation of the projects. As a result of the public forum and leadership meeting on November 15 and 16, priorities were set which are reflective of neighborhood choices and the overall strategy to guide implementation of the strategic plan. Neighborhood Priorities The public forum on November 15, 1994 had two key objectives to accomplish. First, each Task Force chair presented that Task Force's portion of the draft plan to the public. The chairs described the process to -date, the overall guiding strategy, and the programs or action steps to be under taken by the Task Force the neighborhood, and SEQL. Following their presentations, the public voted on their top priority projects within each Task Force. Housing The top priority as voted by the public for the Housing Task Force was to gain the organizational capacity establish a neighborhood -based Community Development Corporation to intercedand prevent the further decay of homes and blocks within the neighborhood.
