  • Overarching, interdisciplinary vision, goals, and strategies.
  • Identification and analysis of major alternatives.
  • Coordination of interdependencies and trade-offs between topic areas.
  • Finalize the planning documents and recommend them for adoption to the Martha's Vineyard Commission.
