Seven50 Facts <br /> ■ Plan participation and implementation is voluntary. <br /> ■ No additional requirements for local government are or will be mandated by the Plan. <br /> ■ Local government will not be required or asked to adopt, accept, or carry out the Plan. <br /> ■ No new forms or levels of government will be advocated in Plan, only better <br /> communication between those governmental units that already exist in the Region. <br /> ■ Regionalism(i.e., working with your neighbors to solve shared problems)will not be <br /> required under the Plan. However, opportunities for regional planning and collaboration <br /> will be identified. Local governments remain the decider on whether or not to pursue <br /> them. <br /> ■ No one will be required or obligated to take any Federal grants or loans because of the <br /> Plan. However, better access to federal and state funds (our tax dollars) will be afforded <br /> by inclusion in the Plan should local government choose to pursue them. <br /> ■ This is a long-range strategic plan for the regional planning councils, uniquely designed <br /> for and by the region, and its local governments; this is not a plan for the U.S. <br /> Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD). <br /> ■ Under Florida law,the Plan will not and cannot usurp or trump local government <br /> comprehensive plans or codes, or private property rights. <br /> ■ Under Florida law, loss of local authority or decision-making power will not and cannot <br /> occur under the Plan. <br /> Seven50 Timeline <br /> ■ In early October the Seven50 Plan will be released in its entirety for public input. <br /> ■ On October 18,2013, a joint meeting of the South Florida and Treasure Coast Regional <br /> Planning Councils will be held to review the first draft of the Plan. <br /> ■ December 13, 2013,the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council will provide <br /> additional review and comment on the Plan. <br /> ■ From November 2013 to February 2014,the Plan will be presented to the Region's local <br /> governments for review and continent. <br /> ■ The fourth and final Seven50 Summit will be on January 15, 2014.
