Other details: The report, a draft of which was submitted in November, represents the culmination of more than a year and a half of community discussions about goals for Columbia’s future. The Visioning Committee spent several weeks reviewing the draft report. Its primary amendment is a supplemental recommendation for how to implement myriad goals and strategies listed in the visioning document. That supplement calls for allowing existing city and county boards and commissions to assist in the implementation of the plan and the appointment of an oversight committee that would monitor, track and encourage progress in the coming years.
