Blueprints for Successful Communities

A service of the Sustainable Growth Program, designed to facilitate community-based planning efforts across the state

Blueprints planning initiatives can occur at a variety of scales and locations, from the neighborhood to the county level, as well as along transportation and watershed corridors and in urban and rural areas throughout the state.

The Blueprints program brings together diverse groups of stakeholders and expertise from across disciplines to help a community develop an action plan that makes the most of their assets and faces their challenges head on. The Blueprints report is the community’s implementation plan and their guide to achieving their vision.
