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