Planning for Quality of Life: Cuba, NY
(First participated in 2010)
Alfred State College is located in Allegany
County, one of the poorest counties in New York State. The small
rural communities in this county need assistance in developing
master plans and creating a vision for improvement.
Students were assigned a town (or
town/village/hamlet combination) and photographically documented
examples of each of their assigned area(s) of focus. The
photos were enhanced to clearly illustrate each of the physical
characteristics and were presented along with suitable (and
enhanced) site plans in a PowerPoint presentation.
A SWOT Analysis was also included that outlines the
Strengths,
Weaknesses,
Opportunities and
Threats in each area. Working
individually and in small groups, students thoroughly researched
and documented the subject area, completed a site analysis report,
generated conceptual ideas, and compiled the information generated
into a comprehensive master plan for presentation
.
