GPA was retained by the Weston Village Business Improvement Area to assist in the preparation of a 4-year strategic plan. The strategic plan includes detailed actions and implementation strategies to address the unique opportunities for improvement that exist in Weston Village, leveraging assets and mapping a path to address challenges overtime with available resources. Weston Village has prepared this strategic plan to provide direction to the BIA for short, mid, and long-term objectives, as well, to positively energize the community with a renewed focus on accessing, enhancing, and enjoying the commercial hub of the community. The plan prioritizes building capacity within the local community, and tailoring improvements to reflect the daily needs of residents who are currently located within Weston. The creation of the strategic plan was informed by an extensive community engagement program that engaged a wide variety of people who play, work, and live within Weston. Activities included pop-ups, intercept interviews, focus groups, and community drop-ins.
