Plans We Support

The Eagle River Fund is intended to advance the objectives of community-supported plans, including:

Eagle River Community Water Plan & Implementation Strategies

The list of Implementation Strategies (Appendix P, linked directly here) intends to function as a roadmap for Plan implementation. 

​

Implementation of Strategies will be most effective when and where local stakeholders and an identified project champion partner to secure necessary funding, conduct outreach to the community, and oversee the implementation of projects or policies.


Implementation of the Strategies outlined in the Plan, and additional Strategies identified by Eagle River Coalition and its partners in the future, will only be successful with collaboration and cooperation among affected stakeholders, elected officials, and resource managers. The collection of entities implicated by the Strategies are varied and diverse. 


The rationale for the actions embodied in the Plan’s list of Strategies is expected to support requests for and receipt of funding from local, regional, state, and federal sources. The wealth of technical material provided by the ERCWP should support grant application development and provide a pathway for long-term assessment of project outcomes.


Characterizing project success or failure will be critical to ongoing efforts to update the Plan through addition, modification, or removal of Management Objectives and the identification of new Strategies.

The rationale for the actions embodied in the Plan’s list of Strategies is expected to support requests for and receipt of funding from local, regional, state, and federal sources.
