§ 25-401. General.

Community change is achieved through a series of incremental decisions and investments by the public and private sectors. Development decisions made by private property owners, by Jefferson Parish administrative departments and by the parish's appointed and elected officials will cumulatively determine the parish's success in achieving its goals and objectives. While the plan's goals, objectives and policies provide guidance for many decisions, effective implementation of the Plan will require the parish to adopt and carry out a variety of regulations, budgets and programs. In addition, as the community changes, the plan may need to be altered to effectively respond to these changes. This element guides the implementation and ongoing administration of the comprehensive plan by:

• Describing how the monitoring of plan implementation shall be coordinated with annual budget deliberations;

• Outlining the appropriate plan review and revision process; and

• Establishing a plan implementation program, which lists actions necessary to bring the plan goals and objectives to fruition.
