COMMUNITY COMPASS PROCESS
With the fragmented
governance framework of 49 political jurisdictions, 23 school districts, and
many more special purpose districts and overlapping community service areas,
carrying out a comprehensive planning process in Hamilton County is a
daunting task. This complexity is one reason why a comprehensive plan has
not been attempted in Hamilton County for over 40 years.
When the Planning Partnership launched the Community COMPASS project, it
challenged the community to produce a truly useful comprehensive plan
developed using a bottom-up approach. It is apparent that collaborative
decision-making and consensus-building on a variety of issues is vital to
continued economic and social development in Hamilton County. It required
creating a forum for government officials, civic organizations, business
groups, and private individuals to all have equal standing and equal voice
in charting the future growth, economic development, and social advancement
in Hamilton County. The consensus that has been created through Community
COMPASS is in itself an achievement as important, far-reaching, and historic
as the new comprehensive plan.
In developing a broad vision with broad support, Community COMPASS ensures
that community trends are anticipated, challenges are addressed, priorities
are focused, and that our collaborative future is planned strategically,
with full consideration given to all the potential impacts on project can
have on another aspect of community life. This broad support will continue
to be vital to the implementation and success of the 2030 Plan and
Implementation Framework.
Community COMPASS Report No. 1, Project Design,
describes in detail the process that was used throughout the project, and
that resulted in the strong coalition behind this plan.
