Bluegrass Tomorrow Strategic Master Plan

Updated Draft for February 28, 2013 Annual Meeting

Vision:   We Connect the Bluegrass Region.

 Mission:  Making the Bluegrass Region a great place to live and work.

Purpose (By-laws)  Enhance quality of life in the Bluegrass Region through facilitation of partnership and the building of regional consensus among the public, private and corporate citizens of the Bluegrass Region.

(Vision & Mission Statements are explained in depth in our values statements that follow)

Values

  • We believe that Quality of Life and Economic Development are inextricably linked.
  • We believe in planning and measured accountability for the future of the Bluegrass.
  • We believe in preservation of precious bluegrass soils and irreplaceable qualities of the region such as the equine industry, agriculture, heritage, cultural and natural resources.
  • We believe that “open source collaboration” and partnership in our region is the key to achieving a unified vision.
  • We believe that by focusing on retaining and recruiting creative talent and keeping our best and brightest youth is a key to our future in competing in a changing global economy.
  • We believe that each of our communities in the Bluegrass Region are separate, unique, and special, but that in partnership we are “All Together Better.”
  • We believe that “well developed” means a respect for the environment and heritage, allows for walk ability and transportation alternatives, incorporates green spaces, creates unique places for people, offers housing choice and affordability, keeps community focus on our downtowns and neighborhood centers that are the hearts of our communities and yields home-grown economic success.
  • We believe that “well preserved” means the continued growth and expansion of agriculture, especially our world famous equine industry, which provides us with an unparalleled brand identity, protecting the incomparable views from our roads, safe guarding our sensitive and fragile environment, and enhancing our unique architectural legacy.

Scope:  The contiguous Bluegrass Counties that border Fayette County, and the second tier of counties including: Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Estill, Franklin, Garrard, Harrison, Jessamine, Lincoln Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Nicholas, Powell, Scott, Woodford

 Overview:  We have a strong asset base in this region, with the world-renowned horse industry and farmland as the centerpiece.  We enjoy economic success, an affordable cost of living and housing, many great neighborhoods, and a myriad of recreational opportunities.  We must build on those assets by expanding our parks and green space, protecting our precious bluegrass soils and environment, exploring transportation alternatives, promoting arts and culture, and creating a more diverse, inclusive community.

Bluegrass Tomorrow believes that strong regions stem from these factors and the availability of highly educated, productive and creative people.  For the Bluegrass Region to recruit and retain talented workers and to be attractive to the Millennial Generation and a 21st Century economy trending towards Mega-Regions we must:

  • Cultivate a vibrant region of arts, entertainment, sports and culture.
  • Cultivate a strong sense of place rooted in landscape and architecture, vibrant downtowns, transportation alternatives, walk ability and trails, access to high quality outdoor recreational activities, and a diverse social scene and nightlife.
  • Capitalize on our stunning Bluegrass landscape, environment and tourism opportunities, and preserve our unique natural and heritage resources.

 

Situation Assessment/ Organizational Analysis:

Bluegrass Tomorrow was formed in 1989 by a coalition of business and conservation interests to promote coordinated growth planning for the central Bluegrass Region of Kentucky on the premise that growth planning is the key to building and sustaining stronger communities.

The organization’s was originally deeply rooted in preservation and conservation issues, most notably preservation of the region’s horse farms and bluegrass soils.

In the early years, Bluegrass Tomorrow focused on promoting comprehensive planning and was responsible for brainstorming and beginning the original discussions on property for development rights (PDR) and created the Bluegrass Conservancy.

In its second decade, Bluegrass Tomorrow evolved into more of a “smart growth” planning organization focusing on developing great sustainable communities, vibrant downtowns, respect for the environment, transportation alternatives, housing affordability, corridor planning and enhancing our unique architectural legacy.

Bluegrass Tomorrow published “Tools for Implementation of a Planned Regional Vision” in 1995 and the “Bluegrass Corridor Management Planning Handbook” in 2000. The Paris Pike project was a benchmark highlight of Bluegrass Tomorrow’s work in the ‘90s.

In 2006-07, the organization sponsored a study, hiring noted regionalist Myron Orfield and his company Amergis, to study the regional economy and revenues in local governments, which resulted in the publication of the “Bluegrass Regional Economic Analysis” or (the Green Book).  Two major government summits also took place as a result of this study.

In 2008, in response to feedback from the summits and the revenue study, the organization implemented the “Bluegrass InnoVision 2018” Report (the Orange Book) which studied trends, data points, and innovations in 22 similar metro regions with a flagship university at their core.  This report was presented and discussed in 2009 to over 1,500 regional stakeholders who participated in focus groups, work sessions, and two summits.  The Top 10 Innovations To Advance the Bluegrass, and our current key performance areas were the result.

Bluegrass Tomorrow’s most recent success is the 2012 development of the new Bluegrass Higher Education Consortium, which includes the 12 four-year regionally accredited universities in the region.  This is highlighted by the signing of the Charter Agreement by all 12 university presidents who have agreed to work collaboratively “to advance the Bluegrass academically and economically.

In addition, BGT in 2012  initiated the creation of the new Bluegrass Bike Hike Horseback Trails Alliance in cooperation with the National Parks System Recreational Trails Conservation Assistance Program, and was integral in the development of the new Kentucky River Water Trail Alliance.

The organization has a 25-member executive committee which meets bi-monthly, and a total board of directors of 60 members, representative of the entire region.

Now, as we move into a new era for Bluegrass Tomorrow our strategic planning efforts will focus on: “Tradition, Transition, and Transcendence” as we prioritize together innovations to advance the Bluegrass.

B. Principles & Goals From 2012

     Presidents Superintendents Summit

 Principle 1:  There must be a major transformation in how we approach career planning and preparation, and how we help students make college and career choices.

Principle 2:  There must be a new focus on what skills, talents and capacities are necessary for the emerging young adult and tomorrow’s citizen-leader, tto define the characteristics of the “ideal young adult.”

Principle 3:  There must be opportunities for the well-rounded young adult to become skilled in three important disciplines: 1) STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), 2) the arts, and 3)workplace competencies.

 Principle 4:  There must be advocacy with government and legislative leaders to address the challenges posed by such ambitious goals, which may challenge the Commonwealth’s educational policies.

Goals:

  1. Reduce dropouts from both high school and higher education.
  2. Improve college-going rates.
  3. Increase the number of associate and bachelor’s degrees in the Bluegrass.
  4. Increase the employment opportunities for the resulting highly skilled and educated workforce. 

 C.Structure and Administration

BHEC is a joint agreement among the 12 universities, with administrative support to be provided by Bluegrass Tomorrow, in cooperation with other partner organizations including the Bluegrass Area Development District and the Council for Postsecondary Education.  Initially, BHEC will operate as a standing committee of Bluegrass Tomorrow as the consortium is in development.

A Board of Directors will be appointed by respective university presidents.  Each school will be represented by the president and at least one other appointment.  The presidents will act as the executive committee of the board of directors.  A chairperson, or co-chairpersons, who are university presidents, shall be appointed by the executive committee.

The purpose of the Board is to ensure that the Consortium functions in support of its mission and in the best interests of the partnership and the participating universities.

Other members of faculty and administration from these respective universities will from time to time be appointed to task specific ad-hoc work groups by the board of directors to execute specific projects and programs as designated by the board.

C. The BHEC will seek to establish partners with other organizations to support its mission, and will establish an ancillary membership for those institutions and organizations that do not meet the criteria of charter membership.  Such potential partners would include the Kentucky Department of Education, the Council for Postsecondary Education, the Kentucky Educational Standards Board, the Bluegrass Area Development District, the Bluegrass Workforce Investment Board, Commerce Lexington and regional chambers of commerce, and other regional educational institutions.

IA. Young Professionals Diversity Council/Creative Talent Development.
