The city of Kelsey has experienced notable growth within the last few years that has subsequently resulted in the need to expand the public facilities. Among other additions, the proposed Stanley Park Project will include the addition of eight multipurpose athletic fields, enclosed dog parks, four tennis courts, and an aquatic facility (Apollo Group, 2012). Before such an undertaking can be completed, it is required that an analysis and evaluation of the proposed plan be executed.
In order to evaluate the predicted value of the Stanley Park Project to the community cost-benefit analysis should be done to find out if such a project will be …show more content…
Because it is difficult to define or use normative futures on the basis of existing preferences or standards, it is important that future changes pertaining to the project be carefully evaluated and taken into consideration (Dunn, 2008). When setting goals and agendas, what may currently be an issue or at the forefront, may not be as important further down the line. An example of normative futures in the Stanley Park Project is the number of people that will use park. When the park initially opens for business, it is likely that there will be a substantial amount of people using the park on a regular basis, but as time goes on those numbers may decline considerably. Goals and objectives must be clearly stated so that the project can be as effective as possible. For example, it is the goal of this project to increase the number of visitors at the park in the future, while the objective is to have a five percent increase in the number of visitors to the park during the first five years of operation. When setting goals and agendas it is important to recognize this potential future trend and make the necessary accommodations. One way to ensure traffic in the future is to continually offer new programs and difference forms of recreation at the park to generate continued interest. Being aware of this information will allow goal and agenda setting to be …show more content…
It is essential that the right planning take place in order to determine the future success. Careful research, planning, and consideration indicates that the new program will in fact be a success. Through grants, state funding, federal funding, and donations the project will be completed to better serve the community. A price cannot be put on the community fellowship and involvement that will be generated as a result of the project. Early estimations show that community members are looking forward to the proposed project, and intend to work together in order to make sure that the facility becomes a lasting institution in the community. While there may be bumps along the road, the program evaluation has not found any reason that the Stanley Park Project should not be approved for
