Prioritizing the many identified needs using com- munity value - based measurements allows Hills- borough County and its implementation partners to focus limited resources on the greenways that will most benefit the county ’ s residents and visitors. The prioritization method used here was developed to be flexible and to be able to be used in the future as new needs are identified and other needs are im- plemented and therefore removed from the Vision Plan. Prioritization is also essential when funding oppor- tunities such as grants or new sources identified through legislation come to light and require pro- jects to have proven support from the sponsoring agency.
A prioritized list of greenway projects in an adopted plan gives Hillsborough County a roadmap for pro- ject funding and implementation. Prioritized lists of projects by greenway type and based on anticipated priorities can be found in Appendix H.
