Possibility of using an electronic survey - survey monkey to
do some initial information gathering via current email addresses of mine, the
community alliance group and via the village facebook page.

Should we look for outside expertise to oversee the plan,
bring some objectivity
Should we look for funding, and if so from where?
Need for a template around implementing the plan, needs to
be SMART at a minimum
Need to initiate discussion, generate ideas, bring some
critical analysis to getting peoples ideas around current/future issues ;
environmental, social, economic
Need to identify some people to support this based on their current
critical analysis and vision for a better future
