NEXT QUESTION: WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
After defining how your project serves your group's vision,
the next step is to identify the specific goals you wish it to
help you achieve.
Will your project:
Support small local businesses with common services, or include
incubator
support to help create anchors
for a distressed
community
area?
Offer
affordable office
space to nonprofits --
or improve the physical appearance of the neighborhood and the
vitality of the street?
Provide
cash flow to your organization -- or bring in
tenants who provide
needed neighborhood
services?
Perhaps you have several goals. It is crucial to formalize and
memorialize them all.
Once you've spent some time identifying your goals, you'll find one
final basic question, involving
your priorities.
