Introduction

Our Objectives

Now that you've decided which goals are most important to you, help us decide which objectives are the best way to reach those goals.

Review the five objectives for each goal
Choose up to three objectives you support as being the best tools to reach each goal
Favorite
Set one objective for each goal as your favorite
If there are any objectives you don't like, mark those with a thumbs down

How will the objectives be used?

We define objectives as the specific results desired from our actions. Each objective represents a different way that our region can achieve the goals we have identified for the future. Your feedback will be used to prioritize future actions that will allow our region to become even better than it is today!
