Abstract

Small rural towns in Texas are under increasing pressure from state and federal entities to develop a master plan in order to procure funding. Unfortunately, many small towns lack the financial capital or the technical proficiency to create such a plan. By sampling plans of select small towns and analyzing plan elements against the criteria set by experts in their respective fields, assembled in a rubric created for this report, a template will be created utilizing the most effective implementation methods. This template will enable small town administrators to (1) understand the elements of a plan, (2) prioritize elements of development, (3) develop an in-house plan, or (4) evaluate plan proposals from independent consultants.
