Chamber releases 90-day goals for 2030 Blueprint

I'm your huckleberry

Two weeks ago, more than 100 cross-sector community leaders convened to analyze the 2022 goals for the broader Pensacola 2030 Initiative. That engagement led the Chamber Foundation to prioritize the first small steps that will be taken this year by the Pensacola business community.

“We were thrilled with the level of engagement and enthusiasm that we experienced from those who participated in the process to outline the first steps. Now, we will strive to meet the deadlines and continue to give live updates on progress and roadblocks regarding Pensacola’s 2030 goals,” said Executive Director Sara Lefevers.

The action plan will be updated weekly as we progress and identify more partners.

Asset mapping is a capacity-focused way of reimaging the placemaking practice around the strengths and gifts that already exist in our communities. By fixating on a community’s problems, the solutions proposed by a traditional deficit approach rely on outside resources and experts rather than the deep knowledge and expertise of community leaders and residents. Although an asset-based approach may not fully remove the need for outside resources, it makes their use more effective. By gathering the community’s collective knowledge, skills, and resources into one shared document, asset maps are designed to build connection and spark collaboration between individuals, organizations, and local government as your team works together to imagine new ways to shape the spaces and places you love.

The Plan Room concept provides a centralized, consistent location within the underserved pockets of the community where skill training, literacy classes, resources, education and other opportunities to meet immediate needs can be provided. The Chamber Foundation and partners plan to have one Plan Room location in each zip code.
