The
Regional Collaborative Regional
organizations are a necessary trend in community
development. Individual stakeholders have their own
priorities and don't often reach consensus about
goals or coordinate their plans with others.
Regional collaborative efforts merge resources of
the federal, state, county, and local governments
along with private businesses and public input to
develop overall community plans that meet the
commercial, residential, and infrastructure needs
of growth. Successful relationships are forged to
create interdependent public policy that becomes
the foundation for future development. Like
other regional movements, the North County Inland
Regional Leadership is the collaborative voice of
the community for connecting the social
obligations, the economy, the community, and
governments to meet future challenges. Our
challenge for the next year is to continue to
identify the most relevant issues our community
faces, to further expand membership to include a
broader group of stakeholders that can result in
more resources being applied to our collaborative
effort, and to develop the strategies that will
enhance the prosperity and quality of life in our
region. Our
process will be to increase our research of
identifying regional needs and determining the
resources required to meet those needs. By engaging
internal stakeholders and external resources, we
will develop workable solutions while continuously
revising and updating the data to maintain an
effective change strategy. The
responsibility for the future of the region belongs
to the community, and it's up to the community to
take the lead in developing sustainable and
inclusive regional economic growth. Initially
addressing the issues of transportation, economic
development, public safety, and regional planning,
it is clear that our diverse needs require
cross-jurisdictional solutions. These needs will be
met by this alliance of government and
non-government organizations.
Sustainability
of commercial and residential development projects
is the key to long-term economic success for
communities. Too many projects are designed for a
quick return on investment without considering the
future health of the local communities. In
challenging economic times, and with an aging
population and multi-generational transfer of
wealth, long-term sustainability is a critical
consideration in designing and evaluating every
development project. But
what are the barriers to sustainability? Are the
regulatory bodies adversaries or partners?
Sustainability brings continued tax revenue while
promoting continued growth and economic health, so
cooperation will benefit everyone. So, how can we
create a win-win situation? How can infrastructure
be developed to promote mobility and stability? How
can we cooperate with government to enhance our
future? The
North County Inland Regional Leadership held a
forum to address these important issues. In July
2009 a panel of business leaders discussed the
issues, challenges, barriers and opportunities to
sustainable growth.
