Gifford Neighborhood Plan Plan <br /> NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN <br /> The neighborhood action plan component of the Gifford Neighborhood Plan identifies the plan goal, strategies to achieve the goal, and <br /> actions to be taken to implement the plan. As structured, the plan is results oriented, with specific actions programmed for <br /> implementation. <br /> Gifford Neighborhood Plan Goal <br /> The goal of the Gifford Neighborhood Plan is to revitalize the Gifford area and create a safe community with good quality <br /> housing, adequate physical infrastructure,well maintained neighborhoods, and vibrant commercial activity areas. <br /> Gifford Neighborhood Plan Strategies <br /> For each major issue identified in the Analysis Section of this plan, an overall strategy has been developed. Each strategy provides a <br /> blueprint for addressing the issue and solving any problems. Associated with each strategy are objectives and actions. <br /> While the strategies establish the general framework for addressing each issue, objectives associated with each strategy set reasonable <br /> accomplishments to be met by specified times. Related to each objective are actions to be undertaken by appropriate parties. Those <br /> actions, when undertaken, should lead to accomplishment of the objectives. <br /> Because the Gifford Neighborhood Plan is a coordinated effort among a number of groups, there are several agencies/organizations <br /> with responsibility for taking actions identified in the plan. Only through the coordinated efforts of these agencies/organizations can <br /> the plan's objectives be met. <br /> HOUSING <br /> Housing Strategy: One of the most significant and most visible problems in Gifford is inadequate housing. To address <br /> this issue, the county, the Progressive Civic League of Gifford, Gifford residents, non-profit groups, and private sector <br /> interests will need to rehabilitate substandard units, remove dilapidated units, and build new housing. In this effort, <br /> the county's role will be to provide state and local funds for housing rehabilitation and new construction, to undertake <br /> housing rehabilitation with federal funds, to remove dilapidated housing with local funds, and to assist in establishing <br /> viable neighborhood associations to promote property maintenance and other objectives.
