GEH H GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Scenario planning helps residents and property owners choose the future that meets their expectations. These choices are made with an awareness of potential changes in the current development pattern in return for desired community benefits. By examining each option through the lens of the Goals, it is easier to compare the options, understand the trade-offs, and make informed choices about the future of the area.
