What is a vision/framework plan used for?

A vision/framework plan serves as a strategic tool to coordinate future growth and investment within a community. It is designed to guide decision-making, prioritize initiatives, and align stakeholders around a common set of goals and objectives for the community's development. By establishing a long-term vision, the plan helps to identify key areas for investment, infrastructure improvements, and land use changes that can enhance the community's overall quality of life.

This type of plan often includes input from community members, stakeholders, and planners to reflect the needs and desires of the public, ensuring that future development aligns with the overall objectives for the area. Unlike detailed architectural drawings, which focus on specific projects, a vision/framework plan provides a broader context that can influence a variety of projects and initiatives within the community over time.
