68 Town of Aurora Comprehensive Plan 68 Plan Overview This station included a board addressing some common questions regarding the plan as well as a schedule of the plan’s progress, indicating what work has been completed leading up the workshop and what is planned to occur throughout the rest of the planning process. Vision Statement At this station, attendees were presented with the plan’s draft vision statement and asked to provide feedback on what they liked, what they disliked, and what was missing. Feedback gathered from this station was used to craft the final vision statement. SWOT Analysis At this station, attendees were asked to complete a SWOT analysis which asks participants to identify what they believe to be the Town’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Understanding residents’ perceptions of all these components helped to better align the plan’s recommendations to specific issues and opportunities perceived by the community. Community Profile Findings & Community Feedback At this station, attendees were presented with key findings and maps from each of the section of the Community Profile. These sections include: Land Use & Zoning, Housing & Neighborhoods, Recreational, Historical & Cultural Assets, Agricultural & Natural Resources, Transportation Systems, and Public & Municipal Services. Each section had a board with leading questions that attendees were asked to respond to in order to further understand their priorities and vision for the future. Mapping Exercise At this final station, attendees were presented with two maps. The first map asked attendees to locate where their favorite place in Aurora is and explain why. The second map asked attendees to locate areas in Aurora that they think need improvement and explain why. This information was very helpful in identifying shared viewpoints and potentially overlooked areas in the Town for future investment.
