Description

When this project is complete, the Authority expects to: 1. Have a complete, five-year DRA regional development plan, which establishes guiding principles, priorities and performance measures, then provides such information to each participating member state and each local development district overlapping the DRA footprint, 2. Assist each participating member state with the development of its five-year, performance-based DRA development plan, to the point of approval by the DRA Board, 3. In the development of both the DRA plan and each state?s plan, this process is to ensure that ?local voices are heard? during the policy development process by using surveys, meetings, conferences, focus groups, and other outreach methods, 4. Maintain programs which better coordinate federal and state investment and do not duplicate other programs, allowing DRA to seek and secure unique opportunities to complete ?unfilled? grant niches, 5. Partition the five-year outcome projection into five sets of annual outcome measures, Create and maintain effectiveness outcomes to a five-year horizon, which will form the vision to establish a ?rolling five-year strategic plan? (PART), 6. On an annual basis, completely integrate its programs, policy initiatives, priorities, performance measures, budget and management, 7. Utilize a performance-program budget system, where each function of the DRA?s organization will have personnel and resources explicitly tied to performance measures, 8. Through the concept, DRA will coordinate with federal, state and local entities to emphasize sub-regional and region-wide economic development; while localized projects will always have a place in the DRA federal grant program, the Authority recognizes the need for regional projects ? the region?s distressed communities are to improve their economic conditions, 9. Encourage creation and use of ?Regional Prosperity Alliances? (RPA) though the region?s local development districts and better integrate each LDD?s CEDS into the DRA planning processes and 10. Provide economic development ?tool kits? and ?critical-mass benchmarks? to the sub-regions for their use in developing RPAs.
