Abstract: Excerpts from the Preface: The strategic plan is a useful tool for any community that wishes to change and grow. A plan will help you see where you want to go and help you make decisions on how to get there. This guidebook will help you choose a path for your community. It takes you through the first step in a process for change: strategic planning. You will create a vision of what you want your community to be like in the future; identify things that are preventing change and opportunities to move forward; and you will decide what actions are needed to make your vision a reality. The community development process consists of three phases: strategic planning, implementation, and evaluation.
