Guiding Principles BOLD LEADERSHIP Be bold, lead with purpose, and take proactive steps to implement the Plan and achieve the future community that the citizens desire. Encourage and endorse innovative ideals, further strengthening Manchester as a hub for the region.
UNIQUELY MANCHESTER Celebrate a distinct brand and sense of place that is uniquely Manchester. Tap into the talent and creativity of the people that shape it — residents, business owners, property owners, developers, design professionals, artists, etc. — to keep things relevant and authentic. Create destinations in the community that are interesting, beautiful, useful, and likely to provide long-standing value.
URBAN ADVANTAGE Promote infill development and redevelopment activities for underutilized areas within Manchester. In doing so, prioritize the transformation of vacant and blighted properties that might strengthen key areas in need of reinvestment.
COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY Maintain on-going, positive, and productive partnerships with public, quasipublic, and private entities that acknowledge our interconnectedness and the shared responsibility for the future success of Manchester. Cultivate greater community and civic responsibility within the City that promotes citizen engagement where all are involved in determining the future of Manchester. The entire community shares the responsibility to implement the vision, guiding principles, and recommendations in the Master Plan.
