Potential Blocks to Implementation
•Defined market window for changes based on development/ redevelopment
•Plans for discrete areas within a municipality may not be in alignment with each other or with the comprehensive plan

Potential Blocks to Implementation
•Implementation strategies may require coordinated efforts by several municipal departments who may not be in agreement with goals and priorities
•Expectations set during the process may not be met by actual implementation – these expectations may have been unreasonable from the beginning or conditions may have changed over time
