After the first draft of the Policy Framework was created, a meeting with the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan Strategic Advisors, a group of 143+ volunteers who have experience or interest in the five vision elements of the Plan, gathered and reviewed the preliminary Framework.

The Advisors viewed a presentation that summarized the Plan efforts and input to-date to help orient them to the community’s preferences and then broke into their 5, assigned Vision Element groups. Each Vision Element group reviewed the two Framework Policies most relevant to their Vision Element, and any others that they have time and interest in reviewing. Input was collected in three ways: Advisors could edit Policies and Objectives directly on the printed Cards; they could use Blank Cards to add new Policies and Objectives they thought were missing for their Vision Element; or they could provide sticky note comments on printed boards with the Policy and Objectives text in a larger format.

A summary of the comments received on each Policy by the corresponding Vision Element Group, as well as the proposed changes to the Policy Framework as a result of this input, are shown on the following page. Due to the preference of one of the Strategic Advisors groups the Balanced Mobility Policy was not reviewed during this meeting.
