This eight county ven-ture is being conducted in each county, and has recently been integrated to form a preferred vision for future development throughout the Valley to the year 2050. Eight individual Valley COGs planning in unison. Phase 1: Values and Vision - gathered from community input Phase 2: Goals, Objectives and Performance Measures based upon Values and Vision Phase 3: Evaluation of alternative "what if" growth sce-narios in each county. • Selection of preferred county level scenarios for Valley-wide analysis. • Evaluation of four Valleywide alternative scenarios • Adoption of Smart Growth Principles and Preferred Growth Scenario for Valley Next Steps: Work with local agencies to integrate Blueprint principles into general plans.
