DCG Completes Major PA Regional Action Plan
CAMP HILL, PA (12/5/2009) - DCG, as a sub-contractor to Avant IMC, successfully delivered a major South-Central Pennsylvania Regional Development Plan. This major planning initiative was presented to the South-Central PA Caucus of County Commissioners, and outlined regionally-significant investment strategies for integrating land use, transportation and economic development projects across eight counties in Central Pennsylvania.
The plan’s strategic goals and objectives were based on requirements for renewed growth and improved prosperity. These requirements rested on the premise that individual counties must work together on a regional basis to compete for state and federal funding to improve the infrastructure, attract private investments, and build community capacity.
The size and complexity of the action plan demanded a comprehensive effort for its development. DCG and Avant IMC gained consensus on strategies to manage growth and development through extensive stakeholder outreach and research regarding economic development. The intent of this process was to analyze current information, share ideas among stakeholders, and agree upon approaches and an overarching strategy for communities and counties in the region.
The plan’s major categories included:
· Workforce and Education
· Regional, County, Municipal Cooperation
· Tourism and Recreation
· Transportation
· Environmental Utilities and Water and Wastewater Infrastructure
· Technology
According to the region’s Caucus of County Commissioners, Avant IMC brought unique expertise in change management, organizational development, inter-governmental cooperation, public-private partnerships and strategy formulation.
