Commissioners pare economic element language, direct annual review of economic partnerships
Summary
Planning staff proposed trimming and consolidating the economic element, removing policies duplicative of other elements and deferring detailed program design to the county’s economic partner; commissioners asked staff to add an annual review of partnerships and county economic health tied to the strategic plan.
Marion County planning staff presented redlined changes to the county’s economic element that simplify policy language, remove redundancies with other comprehensive plan elements, and leave specific program design to economic partners such as the county’s community and economic partnership (CEP).
Blair Knighton, planning staff, walked commissioners through deletions and edits intended to avoid duplicating future land use, infrastructure and other elements. Knighton said several policies were struck because they described routine county procedures or directed activities that the CEP or other external partners already perform.
