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.

The unprecedented damage Hurricane Sandy caused along the East Coast of the US, especially to the densely populated New York and New Jersey coastlines, was a wake-up call to the threat that weather events pose to our communities. The world has always been plagued by severe and seemingly intractable problems, including storms, but today, we live with an unprecedented level of disruption.
Things go wrong with more frequency and severity, greater complexity, and with more inter-related effects. No longer can we afford to simply rebuild what existed before. We must begin to rethink our recovery efforts, making sure the damaged region is resilient enough to rebound from future storms.
In order to better protect Sandy-area residents from future climate events the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and President Obama’s Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force
initiated Rebuild by Design (RBD) to develop fundable solutions that address structural and environmental vulnerabilities throughout the East Coast region. Recognizing the enormity of this challenge, the RBD process has looked beyond traditional solutions, supporting new approaches in architectural design, regional planning and environmental engineering, all of which are set within an innovative process that combines public, philanthropic and private sector resources and knowledge with community participation in a design competition.

Downtown & Infill Tax Increment Districts: Strategies for SuccessVierbicher
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is the #1 local funding source for revitalization of downtowns and urban areas. Such areas face far different challenges than industrial parks or mixed-use neighborhoods when it comes to formulation and implementation of TIF plans. When used successfully in urban areas and downtowns, TIF can not only grow jobs and property tax base, but also serve as a tool for remediating environmental contamination, integrating green design into infrastructure and the built environment, reestablishing a community’s commercial core, improving bikeability, and retrofitting a suburban-style development pattern into walkable urban streets.
Buildings produce half of all greenhouse gases and account for one-sixth of the world's
freshwater withdrawals, one-quarter of its wood harvest and two fifths of its material and
energy flows. One in three buildings in this country, according to the USEPA, has less
than healthy indoor air quality. By several estimates, we will double the size of the built
environment over the next twenty to forty years. For these reasons there is a critical and
immediate need to shift thinking on how the built environment is designed. To reduce
environmental impact, protect public health and improve environmental equity and
justice, we must change principles for building practice. Designers in general and
architects in particular should play a high profile leadership role in this transformation.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

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).
