GENERAL Executive Summary The Executive Summary is required. Include the objectives and outcomes identified in the plan and an evaluation of past performance. 3-5 Year Strategic Plan Executive Summary: The mission statement in the most recent Strategic Plan for the City of Mobile, adopted in 1997, reads, “…to continuously improve the quality of life for our residents and visitors, by assuring them a clean, safe, economically viable and progressive City that is responsive to changing needs.” This Consolidated Plan and Strategy will act as an important tool and guide to carrying out the City’s Mission. In order to determine the areas of greatest need, factors such as income, minority concentrations, overcrowding, substandard housing units, percentage of renter occupied units, and age of units were analyzed. Areas with problems in at least four of the six categories were considered to have the greatest needs. Within each category of need outlined in this consolidated plan, the following priorities will be followed when serving the areas of greatest need: 1. Housing (Homeless, Non-Homeless Special Needs, and Public Housing) 2. Community Development These priorities were developed by examining the goals, objectives, and recommendations in City of Mobile documents; the

  • Guide to the Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers
    Guide to the Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers Descriptive Summary: Creator: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr., 1902-1993 Title: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers Dates: 1856-1956 (bulk 1927-1956) Quantity: 81.2 linear feet Abstract: Blueprints, correspondence, drawings, etching plates, news clippings, and a scrapbook related to the business dealings and genealogy of architect Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Accession: 10-09-267 ; 267-1993 Biographical Note: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr., the last of the locally celebrated Hutchisson architects, was born in 1902 in Mobile, Alabama. From 1926 to 1932 Hutchisson worked in the office of his father, Clarence L. Hutchisson Sr. Between 1940 and 1945, Hutchisson trained as an engineer and would serve as chief architect for the Mobile Corps of Engineers. During his career, he designed a variety of structures in the Mobile area. Like his mother, Henrietta Homer Hutchisson, he was interested in the genealogy of the Homer family and he and his mother gathered information about several of his bloodlines. Much of this genealogical correspondence took place with his cousin Annie Homer Wilson and pertains to the Homer family in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hutchisson died in December 1993. Scope and Contents: This collection contains etching plates, news clippings, a scrapbook, and the business stamp of Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. In addition, the collection is made up of a wide selection of correspondence, both business and private, contracts, building specifications, blueprints, and other related architectural documents. Of particular importance are the 200 architectural drawings of structures designed by the Hutchissons (ca. 1908-1972). These drawings are indexed by address as well as the client's name.
