Citizens in Hilo came together to form collaborative partnerships, and <br />through that process, fostered local capacity that ensures Downtown Hilo will always be the <br />special place that it is today. EDH 2025 is about our future. It is about learning how to make <br />shared commitments, discovering what we're good at and acknowledging our unique <br />contributions. Foremost — it's about having fun while working together to achieve shared goals. <br />Like most plans, implementation is critical in EDH 2025. In Downtown Hilo, there are many <br />dedicated people who have the passion and will to make things happen. In the EDH 2025 Plan, <br />these people are called Lead Solution Partners (LSPs). They are organizations or agencies who <br />take the lead role for achieving or implementing an action. They are the movers and shakers <br />that transform a desired action from a written statement to reality. LSPs are the shining stars <br />that have many success stories to share. <br />Despite our successes, implementation is not easy. How do we maintain a long -term <br />commitment to implement a 20 -year Vision and Living Action Plan given the economic, <br />environmental, physical and social constraints and challenges Downtown Hilo faces today? <br />How do we translate the "big picture" Vision into clear and articulate strategies and actions <br />that, when pieced together, become the picture we hold true to our heart? What criteria will <br />help us prioritize actions? How do we measure our progress and know how well are we doing — <br />with simple benchmarks? What are some of the best practices, policies and design tools <br />available that can help us to create a more "visual" vision? How can we continue to think and <br />EnVision Downtown Hilo 2025 1 SDAT Application 2009 <br />
