3 – CONNECT “Preferred” Scenario
ATF: Ground Rules
17
• This is a local (i.e. county-level), voluntary, bottoms-up
approach to developing a regional blueprint for growth
• Establish communication and engagement protocols
• Avoid politically charged verbiage
• Communicate proactively at multiple levels and throughout
the project – “Neutral Branding”
• It’s OK to agree to disagree
• Focus in different directions as appropriate and needed by
each county and region
ATF: Lessons Learned
18
• Leverage similarities and common problems
• Differences can be opportunities too (iron sharpens iron)
• Voluntary participation minimizes ‘big brother’ risk
• Don’t try to boil the ocean
• It’s ok to opt out of a part, and still contribute elsewhere
• Gut checks with Executive Committees and Boards are good
• Social opportunities for COG Boards to mix can be positive
• Professional public relations/outreach assistance can be helpful
• Project leaders need to be able to work well together
ATF: Persistent Challenges
19
• Respect of differences in geography, political climate, and
governance is difficult to keep top of mind
• It remains difficult to engage the private sector in something as
squishy as long-range planning
• Public engagement is intentional, but the same folks usually
show up/respond which could skew results
• Intentional outreach to under-represented groups is vital, but
outreach and feedback has to be objective, fair, and balanced
Summary
20
• Both Catawba COG and Centralina COG are using outcomes of
CONNECT for the benefit of the Bi-state area
• Public engagement continues even after the grant-funded
portion ended
• The dominant issues haven’t gone away
• Data goes a long way in helping to present problems and
solutions
• Organizations and people who intentionally talk with each
other are more likely to find solutions to common problems

  • 1.
  • 2. CONNECT Bi-State Area  States (2) NC, SC  Major Watersheds (3)  Counties (14)  Cities & Towns (120)  Councils of Governments (3)  Geography (+/- 7,100 sq. mi.)  Parcels (1,127,134)
  • 3. Growth Forecast (2050) Population Growth by County, 2010 - 2050 CONNECT Area Population: 2,431,600 (2010) 4,241,000 (2050) South Carolina CONNECT Area: 16% of Population ~1/3 of land mass
  • 4. CONNECT: Outgrowth of Bi-state Area Values and Visioning Work 4 • Funded by a $4.9 million HUD Sustainability Grant • Centralina COG (NC) – Applicant • Catawba Regional COG (SC) – Lead Partner • 100+ participating jurisdictions, non-profits, educational institutions, and private sector entities
  • 5. Seven Study Areas 5 • Land Use Scenario Planning = “Blueprinting” – 1/3 total project budget • Pilot Projects, Plans, & Assessments for: • Economic Development • Energy • Air Quality • Food Systems • Public Health • Housing
  • 6. 6 Extensive Public Outreach & Engagement • Reality Check Exercise – 500+ participants • Multiple Community Growth Workshops, Surveys, and Focus Groups in all Counties – 5,000+ participants; excellent geographic and demographic diversity represented • Project Organization: Workgroups, Program, Policy Forums
  • 9. Reporting Geographies Bi-State Area State COG Regions County City
  • 10. The CONNECT Bi-State Area NOW… How will the region look in 2050, with 1.8 million more people and 860,000 more jobs? 10
  • 11. 11 1 - Follow “Trends”
  • 12. Development Footprint Land Consumption / Urban Footprint 35%Development Footprint (2013) 56%Development Footprint (2050)
  • 13. 2 - Follow Community Plans 13
  • 14. Public Facilities & Services Demand for Water Service The demand for water service would increase significantly under current growth plans… …and so would reliance on small wells to serve rural development. Delta:176.48 MGD 2010 2050 239.67 MGD# 416.15 MGD # = theoretical existing condition
  • 15. Public Facilities & Services Demand for Sewer Service The demand for sewer service would increase significantly under current growth plans… …and so would reliance on septic systems to serve rural development. 2010 2050 205.34 MGD# 356.43 MGD Delta: 151.08 MGD # = theoretical existing condition
  • 16. 16 3 – CONNECT “Preferred” Scenario
  • 17. ATF: Ground Rules 17 • This is a local (i.e. county-level), voluntary, bottoms-up approach to developing a regional blueprint for growth • Establish communication and engagement protocols • Avoid politically charged verbiage • Communicate proactively at multiple levels and throughout the project – “Neutral Branding” • It’s OK to agree to disagree • Focus in different directions as appropriate and needed by each county and region
  • 18. ATF: Lessons Learned 18 • Leverage similarities and common problems • Differences can be opportunities too (iron sharpens iron) • Voluntary participation minimizes ‘big brother’ risk • Don’t try to boil the ocean • It’s ok to opt out of a part, and still contribute elsewhere • Gut checks with Executive Committees and Boards are good • Social opportunities for COG Boards to mix can be positive • Professional public relations/outreach assistance can be helpful • Project leaders need to be able to work well together
  • 19. ATF: Persistent Challenges 19 • Respect of differences in geography, political climate, and governance is difficult to keep top of mind • It remains difficult to engage the private sector in something as squishy as long-range planning • Public engagement is intentional, but the same folks usually show up/respond which could skew results • Intentional outreach to under-represented groups is vital, but outreach and feedback has to be objective, fair, and balanced
  • 20. Summary 20 • Both Catawba COG and Centralina COG are using outcomes of CONNECT for the benefit of the Bi-state area • Public engagement continues even after the grant-funded portion ended • The dominant issues haven’t gone away • Data goes a long way in helping to present problems and solutions • Organizations and people who intentionally talk with each other are more likely to find solutions to common problems
