As is generally the case in the development of a municipality’s master plan, there is the development of a vision, in conjunction with a profile or guideline that drives subsequent actions to achieve the vision statement or future profile.
This is the case in this document, whereby each Characteristic Group is defined such that it sets the vision for where the Village of Herkimer will progress or evolve to by the year 2020 and beyond. In order to compartmentalize the efforts necessary to achieve that vision, there is developed a profile of the future, followed by Action Points that will provide direct guidance on how that vision can be achieved.
The detailing of each Action Point is left to the parties listed as having Responsibility to complete those deliverables; an example being the Action Points that are referenced in the Characteristic Group detailing how the Village of Herkimer will become positioned as the Retail Center of Herkimer County.
All Action Point deliverable listed in this document are approved and affirmed by the Village of Herkimer when it ratifies/approves this Master Plan, thereby providing authorization for these activities to be executed by those having Responsibility for completing them.
