1 IF THEN SURVEY RESULTS BUILDING TOWARDS A REGIONAL VISION Survey Summary April 2013
2 BACKGROUND In the spring of 2011, the Piedmont Triad undertook an ambitious, 3-year planning effort designed to strengthen our region by strengthening each community in our region. Formerly referred to as the Sustainable Communities Planning Project, Piedmont Together takes a comprehensive look at the potential impacts of jobs, housing and transportation choices on the lives of citizens within our 12-county region. Hundreds of project participants from communities throughout our region are working together to identify opportunities and develop practical solutions for creating a stronger local economy, healthier and more livable communities and a greener environment. These efforts are not just about making our region more competitive they are focused on making the Piedmont Triad a true winner in the new global economy. Top Strengths Excellent higher education opportunities Viticulture and Productive Farmland Access to Excellent Health Care Scenic and Recreational Resources Small Town Charm Strong volunteer & religious organizations that help create a sense of community Good highways & utilities to support job creation & economic development Top Challenges Lack of transportation options in communities & regionally The New Economy post-manufacturing, high tech Abandoned Job Centers unused mills & shopping centers Capitalizing on Assets supporting existing small businesses Healthy Communities transportation options & open space Sidewalks & Bike Lanes mobility and recreation Access to fresh food sources Energy Conservation construction, restoration, re-use By the spring of 2012 hundreds of people had attended civic forums held throughout the region to generate a list of regional strengths and challenges. Combined with a wide range of factual information, this grassroots stakeholder input was used to generate the following reasons to care about the future of our region. Reasons to Care about the Future of our Region 1. The New Economy Nearly 350,000 new jobs will be added to the region by But they are not the jobs of the past; they will require a much more educated workforce. 2. Transportation Choices The lack of transportation choices is causing families and businesses economic hardship in the region. 3. Housing Market Current housing choices are not keeping up with the demand of a changing housing market or proximity to goods, services and jobs. 4. Demographic Changes More planning is needed for the area s aging and increasingly diverse population. 5. Scenic, Recreational and Natural Resources The region s natural resources, one of its strengths, are frequently threatened. 6. Farm and Food Systems The desire and market for local fresh food is on the rise, yet the Triad is losing working farm and forestry lands at an alarming rate and the local infrastructure for food processing and distribution is lacking. 7. Regional Cooperation Regional cooperation and coordination is critical to the future economic prosperity of the region.
3 On Thursday October 25, 2012 more than 150 stakeholders and community leaders from across the Piedmont Triad gathered at the Old Salem Event Center for a regional Livable Communities Summit. Interspersed among the speaker, attendees answered a series of survey questions. Using audience participation devices, participants voted and were then able to review and discuss their responses with one another in real time. Survey questions were based on the top strengths and challenges and reasons to care about the future of our region shown above. Presented as IF / THEN STATEMENTS, each question invited survey participants to explore and prioritize the potential impacts on our region, based on alternative future scenarios and a variety of possible planning, policy and program choices to be made by communities in our region. Then in March 2013, Piedmont Together held its second round of civic forums throughout the region. At the forums participants: Received a Piedmont Together update; Viewed a video or heard from a speaker on a topic related to sustainability, followed by a discussion; and Participated in the IF / / THEN SURVEY. The SURVEY was also available on Piedmont Voice and administered to a community group. In total 198 person took the survey. The results of the survey are being used to help guide the project s on-going scenario modeling efforts and to set priorities concerning the most important factors be measure in the regional model.
