- Setting short-term priorities with the Governing Body that drive decisions about budget, capital outlay, financial policies and operations;
- Developing a Comprehensive Plan that meets the requirements of state statute while defining a process for making future development decisions.
The members of the Steering Committee were selected based on their ability to be productive, optimistic, open and collaborative. All have the ability to compassionately work as a team for the betterment of the entire Westwood community while reflecting the broad interests of all residents, businesses, workers and patrons that live, work, shop, and visit the City of Westwood.
