“If you don’t know where you are going, how are you gonna’ know when you get there?” Yogi Berra
Accountability Era What gets measured gets done If you don’t measure results, you can’t tell success from failure If you can’t see success, you can’t reward it If you can’t reward success, you’re probably rewarding failure If you cant see success, you can’t learn from it If you can’t recognize failure, you can’t correct it If you demonstrate results, you can win public support

Considerations in the Plan Development Community and Economic development incorporated into each program area Interdisciplinary approach-avoid silo’s Think broadly on issues (5 years-step 1) but more specifically on outcomes/indicators section (1-3 years) We will have opportunity to update plan yearly
