The Preferred Alternative Once the preferred alternative was selected, it had to be further defined and articulated to the regional community. To describe the preferred alternative, both written and map-based descriptions were prepared. The written description took the form of 29 specific principles described by five broad theme areas, as follows: • Government; • Healthy Economy – Healthy Environment; • Transportation and Other Infrastructure; • Open Space and Resource Protection; and • Growth & Redevelopment. In addition to the themes and principles, the preferred alternative was depicted as a policy map. This map shows areas identified for: • maintaining urban and village centers; • urban fringe focused growth areas; • transitional cluster development areas; • agricultural preservation areas; and • forested and environmental preservation areas. Together, the five themes, 29 principles and policy map were used to create the growth project poster plan. The poster plan, along with this summary, describe the initial results of the Regional Growth project. The Two Future Regional Growth Scenarios “Business as Usual” One of the scenarios considered was “Business as Usual.” This scenario projects what could happen by 2025 and at regional build out if there are no changes to current land use policies. Figure 9 depicts modeled representation of the distribution of development under the future “Business as Usual” scenario. In town forums, only 15% of participants preferred this scenario. 14
