Executive Summary Priorities and Disparities Continuing with the Prevention Agenda choices made in 2013, Tompkins County is focusing on Preventing Chronic Disease, and Promoting Mental Health and Preventing Substance Abuse as its two Prevention Agenda priorities for 2016–2018. With populations and key employers located in and just outside the City and Town of Ithaca garnering so much of the county focus, we recognize that deliberate attention must be paid to the rural populations due to their high potential for isolation from services. Thus, the rural population has been identified as our primary disparity group. In addition, health improvement initiatives will be targeting communities of color within the City of Ithaca, and more broadly, individuals who are of low socio-economic status (SES). Changes since 2013 Focus areas, goals, and objectives within the priority to Prevent Chronic Disease remain largely unchanged from those established in 2013: diabetes prevention, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma action education, and tobacco use.

Land Use: Preserving Open Spaces A key question facing the Town is how to accommodate the perceived demand for more housing with the coexisting demand for preserving open space. — Open spaces are critical to the long- term health of the Town and to the health of the planet. — The 1993 Comprehensive Plan stated that one of its specific goals was to “focus development to avoid sprawl”; despite good intentions, we see sprawl development has continued in the Town.
