Show principle #2 - Implementation through Local Action The region is comprised of 75 cities, villages, townships and three counties, and it is through the development of coordinated local plans, ordinances and policies that the regional vision will be implemented. Principle #3- Regional Role The region needs an advocate, facilitator and forum that has the support of local governments, stakeholders and citizens to promote, monitor, refine and assist with the implementation of the preferred regional vision. This role includes education, assisting with coordination and collaboration, prevention and resolving disputes, provisions of technical assistance (including model ordinances and planning processes) and reporting on successes and failures.
