Norcross Sustainability Plan - Strategic Plan
The plan commits Norcross to increasing accountability towards goals of Healthy People, Healthy Places, and Healthy Economy provides a roadmap by identifying the current status of conditions, where available, and identifies nationallyrecommended outcome metrics for tracking progress over time. At least five major initiatives are underway in Norcross, which will establish new baselines for the community around green space and tree canopy, housing affordability, active recreational opportunities, parks accessibility and acreage, and educational assets. These in addition to the many actions captured in this plan, set Norcross on a steady path towards an enhanced quality of life for all residents.
