INTEGRATED COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY PLAN OVERVIEW
The ICSP is a long-range plan that consists of five dimensions – environmental, governance, economic, social, and recreational/cultural – to be developed through public consultation and will provide direction to their Multi-Year Capital Infrastructure Plan.
The five dimensions of a Sustainable Community are:
• Environment – Preserving quality and natural built environments that minimize the negative impacts of development.
• Governance –Ensuring transparent, collaborative, and inclusive decision-making in which representation and leadership are accountable to the community.
• Economy – Creating a flourishing and diverse local economy through decisions that create conditions conducive to economic development and communities in which people want to live and do business.
• Social – Allowing the growth of communities that promote stability, diversity, and a high quality of life for all.
• Recreational/Culture – Celebrating vibrant and festive communities for the expression and enhancement of a distinct identity and strong sense of place.
This report is an updated version of the ICSP that was first developed in 2009 and provides a summary of what the community’s vision for Village of Spring Lake is in the future, how we will achieve this vision, and how we will ensure its sustainability.
