THE PLAN
Priority Investment

We all need a to-do list; priority investment acts as a quick reference guide where the recommendations made throughout the plan are compiled and summarized.

PRIORITY INVESTMENT ELEMENT DOCUMENTS
The priority investment element is one of the nine elements of Columbia Compass: Envision 2036.

PRIORITY INVESTMENT CHAPTER (PDF)
The priority investment chapter makes one additional recommendation for the next ten years and provides a snapshot of all of the plan recommendations, organized by priority and duration.  The chapter also summarizes the priority transportation projects included within the transportation chapter.
