The document discusses strategic planning and provides examples of case studies. It defines strategic planning as developing achievable goals and action plans to achieve a desired future state. Case studies show examples of communities that did not plan strategically and faced issues, such as speculative buildings sitting empty or businesses relocating. Other cases show communities that planned but faced unintended consequences like declining sales tax revenue. Strategic planning is presented as key to shaping a community's future in a coherent way that balances goals with available resources.

Editor's Notes
- Let me start off congratulating you on your 6’th Avenue street project! Many communities don’t take the time to celebrate their successes…and that IS important. As a Community Development Specialist at the Center for Community & Economic Development, U.W. Extension, I have spent the last 9 years of my life living in Middleton, Wisconsin. In my spare time, I serve as an Alder for the city of Middleton. That volunteer experience has been an incredible learning experience for me and has provided me with a unique perspective on today’s topic…What is our Role as elected officials in Economic Development.. While I had constituent who recently referred to me as a “carpet bagger” that should go back to where I came from, I have spent the majority of my life within a few miles of the place I now call home. Middleton is located right next to Madison, that city described by Wisconsin Republican governor Lee S. Dreyfus while campaigning in 1978 as "70 square miles surrounded by reality“ While I suspect many of you agree with that description, Mayor Dave Chezlevich has recently fired back by saying that Madison is growing….so reality must be shrinking. I have also spent time in Burnett County in N.W. Wisconsin and Grant county in S.W. Wisconsin. I think my work in small towns has kept me well grounded in reality. The communities and the people within those communities that I have worked with in Extension over the past 23 years have taught me as much as I might have shared with them. I would like to acknowledge my colleague, Alex Crockford, who is the Agricultural Agent for the U.W. Extension office here in Langlade County. I believe Alex is here? Normally I am in a County supporting the work of the Community Resource Development Agent, but I think many of you probably know that this position no longer exists in Langlade County. Instead, I was invited here today by the Community Development Advisory Board…a joint city/county board working to improve the economic climate in Langlade County. While I think its helpful to bring in outsiders on occasion for an external perspective of your community, there is also great value in having that local educator in the county office that understands the local issues.

- Quizes, are one format that I like to use with groups as a means of starting a discussion. Think about yourself or the people in your community. In a lot of our small communities people tend to think of the long term residents. And in fact we have a number of residents who have lived their entire life in one community. However, the census data reveals that about half of the households turn over in a five year period (51% for the nation, 46% for the State of Wisconsin but 62% for Langlade county).
