- Includes an iterative process that uses performance measures to determine accountability, measure progress, evaluate performance, and recommend course adjustments
- The planning process incorporates the HBCU and surrounding community input on what should be included in the development project, recognizing each community’s unique needs and aspirations. This is achieved through community meetings, surveys, and other forms of engagement, ensuring that the final plan reflects their collective vision and that the community’s voice is heard and respected.
- The planning process leverages the community’s social, cultural, and financial assets. It involves identifying and utilizing the community’s strengths and resources, such as local businesses, cultural institutions, and community organizations, to enhance the development project and ensure that the project’s benefits are distributed equitably across the community.
HBCUcdc works with HBCU leadership to develop an internal planning process that produces an HBCU strategic plan and campus master plan that contains a community development solution designed to create business and community partnerships to obtain the capital needed to build the mixed-use development to increase student enrollment, attract additional faculty and staff to the community, and generate long-term sources of income to ensure accreditation for HBCUs' and growth for the surrounding communities. HBCUcdc works with the HBCU leadership to develop a comprehensive internal planning process that produces a measurable strategic plan and campus master plan. The plan includes a public and private sector-financed community development project and maintains the HBCU leadership and ownership of the income generated from the development. The HBCU leadership's role in this process is to provide guidance, make key decisions, and ensure the plan aligns with the institution's mission and goals. HBCUcdc serves as a catalyst that provides HBCU administrators with the assistance needed to develop a strategic plan based on the institution's budget, match the academic priorities, and direct the reallocation of resources as needed. The input from the strategic plan is used to design a Campus Master plan that recommends projects that best match the academic priorities and enhance the institution's ability to compete for the students, faculty, and staff needed to support the institution’s strategic goals financially. HBCUcdc assembles a team of professionals with the expertise and skill required to carry out the project's design, construction, marketing, and management as agreed upon in the HBCU strategic plan and community-approved campus master plan. HBCUcdc coordinates the development to ensure the construction and day-to-day HBCU and community activities are complementary and enhance new student, faculty, and staff recruitment. HBCUcdc utilizes financial systems and tools that monitor the flow of funds before, during, and after project completion to prevent fund misappropriations and accurately forecast project income, expenditures, and debt services. HBCUCDC uses this data to successfully develop operational adjustments needed to retire development financial obligations.The Internal Planning – "Where there is no vision, the people perish.” – Proverbs 29:18
