After discussion,the <br /> Board directed staff to evaluate the Gifford Neighborhood Plan (GNP), provide information <br /> regarding implementation of the plan, and identify needs for updating the plan. This is that <br /> evaluation. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> In July 1999, the Board of County Commissioners created a task force to identify issues that <br /> existed in Gifford and to make recommendations regarding those issues to the County <br /> Commission. To ensure that the task force would be effective, the County Commission <br /> requested that the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce appoint task force members <br /> representing agencies that contribute to economic development in the Gifford community. <br /> For the next year, the task force worked on that project. In July 2000, the Task Force presented <br /> its findings and recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners (Attachment 1). Based <br /> on those recommendations, the Board directed county planning staff to develop a neighborhood <br /> plan for the Gifford Community. <br /> 1 <br /> 67 <br />
