Rick Hitchcock, of the Hitchcock Group gave a presentation of the findings from a recent survey of residents, and business people of the Village. It was titled “Regional Positioning Plan”. This is from the first phase of possibly 3 phases. This phase gave them information to present an outline, recommended to be done in 3-4 years, including in part capital improvements, operational improvements, public policy, and objectives for future plans. This was a result of the survey, and a workshop. Goals are to bring forward a clear culture, brand, improve appearance, broaden the Villages image, financial tools, and to find opportunities that may have not been utilized.
