Action Plans!

Each of the Troy Horizons Action Teams has created a plan of action to guide future work goals for their team. These plans lay out short term goals, long term goals, potential resources, and anticipated impact for the work the team plans to accomplish. You can view these goals by clicking on the appropriate team name in the Pages menu to the right of this post.

Water Conservation:

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Co-Leader, Shishona Thurston, shishonathurston@hotmail.com

This group would like to address the current water shortage issue by focusing on conservation. The first step in this process is to collect information on the history of this issue. At the first meeting, City Council Member Mike Dimmik will be providing an overview on what the City has been doing to address this problem. Other information on conservation will also be presented. This meeting will take place on Monday, October 19th from 7:00-8:30 at City Hall.

Entrepreneurship:

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Co-Leader, Nancy Hampel, nancmh@yahoo.com

The Entrepreneurship team will be exploring a variety of possibilities such as supporting existing business owners, encouraging entrepreneurial development, developing a small business investment club, and taking part in a cultural heritage tourism project. One other possibility that has been mentioned is the development of a community garden. We have identified a possible partner for this project, but we’d like to determine if there is enough community interest to move forward so we’d like to hear from you about this issue as well. Then next meeting for this group will be on Wednesday, November 14th from 6:30-7:30 pm at City Hall.
