“Burning desires” of the partnership
Posted by Tomsic on April 2, 2008
The Orange County 10-year plan has 18 goals it wants to accomplish in the first six months.
The 18 goals look overwhelming at first, but they all turn into one big goal, Carson Dean said. And Dean said he wanted to see what was most important to the members of the partnership.
“I just want to try and get a sense of the pulse of the room today,” Dean said.”I think in the first year, you are going to see some of these things are going to take some infrastructure building. If we can get it done and be sustainable from the beginning, we’ll be much more successful.”
Stan Holt of Triangle United Way said he wants to focus on employment and housing first.
“Let’s pick the low hanging fruit and be successful immediately,” Holt said.
The partnership also talked about finding a place for support circles in the first six months.
