    NORTH WALES BOROUGH REVITALIZATION PLAN UPDATED NOVEMBER 2012 Revitalization Task Force Michael McDonald, Council President Greta Martin Washington Mark Tarlecki Christine Hart, Vice President Sally Neiderhiser Gregory D’Angelo Douglas Ross, Mayor Daniel H. O’Connell, Sr. Peter Myers Nathaniel Dysard, Borough Manager Ed Redstreake Alec Jacques John Cotton Paula Scott Table of Contents Preface 2 Introduction/History 3 Achievements from Previous Plan 11 Goals and Strategies 12 Action Plan 13 Implementation of Action Plan 22 AppendixA 32 Map 1 35 Map 2 36 Map 3 37 Map 4 38 Map 5 39 1 Revitalization Plan | North Wales Borough Preface Most institutions have learned that success and prolonged complacency are mutually exclusive. Maintaining an indefinite state of ‘status quo’ will most assuredly lead to stagnation and a lack of vibrancy; if not a total demise. Periodically the institution has to be injected with a new energy (revitalized) in order to meet and adapt to the changing needs and goals of its constituents. Recognizing this, Borough Council adopted a Revitalization Plan in 2003. A revitalization plan is not something that is ‘once and done’. It, too, needs a periodic revitalization in order to remain relevant. The Plan that follows is an attempt to do just that. A revitalization plan can be as simple or as complex and far reaching as its authors wish to make it. On the other hand, any plan that does not take into consideration the constraints of limited available resources e.g. human, financial, etc., is destined to meet with, at best, very limited success. This plan was written with that in mind.
