Implementation: Explanation of the Format
The Acronym refers to the full text on the Master Plan (i.e. “STN-13 Spanish Town Neighborhood 13”)
The Project Name refers to the shorthand or nickname for the project. If the handle doesn’t “take” with use, it can be changed.
The Product describes prosaically the intended result. This is sometimes difficult to pin down succinctly.
The Responsibility belongs to the activating entity. Ideally this is a person that picks up the phone to make it happen. This person is accountable and if things do not move forward he/she must be replaced. The Master Plan gives the highest level of responsibility to the Downtown Development District in this role.
The Implementing Agent actually does the work.
The Feasibility Analysis can range from optional to the retention of an elaborate consultancy.
The Initial Financing is not always necessary but may cover the feasibility analysis or a person to do some serious legwork.
The Project Financing is the real cost of implementation. The recommended sources require a vision of the Downtown seen as a whole: private and public cooperation as well as a broad definition of infrastructure.
Timing is determined by sequence, urgency and feasibility. All projects are intended for completion within the decade ending in the year 2008. Those marked Priority One: Immediate action. Priority Two: To be initiated within the first two years. Priority Three: Undertaken within the first five years.
