FAQs
How will my feedback be used?
Your feedback will directly inform the development of our pathway forward. We want to ensure that the plan addresses the unique needs, concerns, and priorities of all community members across our region. By participating, you're helping to create a roadmap that truly reflects what our communities need to become more resilient.
What is a regional resilience plan?
Our Regional Pathway Plan is a comprehensive strategy being developed to help East Central Iowa communities prepare for and adapt to future challenges like climate change, economic shifts, and other disruptions. The plan outlines specific actions and initiatives that counties, cities, and residents can take to build stronger, more resilient communities across the region. Once completed, this roadmap for resilience will identify priorities, resources, and collaborative opportunities to help our area thrive despite uncertainties.
The final plan will be shared with all participating counties so that each community can implement the strategies that best fit their local needs. This coordinated approach ensures that East Central Iowa works together to build a thriving future for all.
