Twenty-five Draft Blueprint strategies were identified through the Horizon Initiative and through a robust planning process including Futures Planning and the Project Performance Assessment. These strategies were tested against a wide range of external forces to see which policies and investments would best respond to an uncertain future. The strategies were refined by iteration and deep engagement with our partners, policymakers and Bay Area residents. Refer to the Draft Blueprint comments page for the results of these engagement efforts. All Draft Blueprint documents can be found on the Plan Bay Area 2050 Draft Blueprint Documents webpage.

Blueprint Mixed Reality (MR) Visualization is a software solution from Stryker that allows shoulder arthroplasty surgeons to reference and interact with a 3D stereotaxic representation of their pre-operative Blueprint plan intra-operatively. Blueprint Mixed Reality OR Visualization has been used by over 50 surgeons and in more than 3500 shoulder replacement procedures globally.
Blueprint Midtown was a nationally regarded community planning process spearheaded by Midtown Alliance beginning in 1997. What sets Blueprint Midtown apart from so many planning processes is the fact that it got implemented. Big time. The original Blueprint stimulated dramatic changes to Midtown by providing a framework and catalyst for new housing, desirable office space, transportation improvements, public safety initiatives, environmental clean-up, and a pedestrian-friendly streetscape program. A subsequent update in 2003 resulted in Blueprint Midtown II and focused on planning for additional retail, transit and parks.
Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS), along with the other 23 local education agencies (LEAs), was asked to create a plan that ensures the Blueprint for Maryland's Future is implemented with fidelity.
The clear, blue and turquoise waters of Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary contain part of the only coral barrier reef in the continental United States, the largest documented contiguous seagrass community in the Northern Hemisphere, mangrove-fringed shorelines, hard-bottom habitat, sand and mud flats, and an array of submerged historical and cultural resources. Each of the components of the 3,800 square-mile sanctuary are ecologically connected, requiring a comprehensive plan for restoring and managing the resources within these waters both individually and cohesively.
Phase IV distilled public feedback into a single proposal called the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (referred to as the "proposed rule"), which was available for a 100-day public comment period. The proposed rule and draft management plan, jointly called the Restoration Blueprint, was developed from cutting-edge science, technical expertise, and public comments. This review is the next step in the public process. During the 100-day comment period for the Restoration Blueprint, the public was invited to provide input about the future of their Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
The proposed rule and revised draft management plan are available below in the supporting materials section. In addition, several informational products are available to provide details on the proposed changes and what they mean.
Phase V is underway as public feedback on the draft rule is considered and informing the final updates to sanctuary boundary, regulations, marine zones, and management plan. A final environmental impact statement, final rule and final management plan are forthcoming.
Guidelines, issued by the board on how each school system must implement the plan, emphasize four priorities: improve early childhood education, hire and retain high-quality and diverse teachers, make sure students are prepared for college and technical careers and offer more resources for students in need.
The first deadline, March 15, 2023, requires each school system to submit plans through the 2023-24 school year. Among details to be included in plans are that school officials must explain how incoming kindergarteners will be evaluated and that they must prepare annual reports on the diversity of their teacher workforce and periodically provide a report if a student needs academic intervention to ensure that student graduates on time.
Slightly more than a week before the board approved the plan Thursday, it received almost 445 written comments from students, parents, advocates and education officials with questions and suggestions on how to improve it.
The other priority is governance and accountability for the Blueprint board, also known as the AIB, that was established by lawmakers to oversee the education reform plan until 2032. The board decided that, together with the Department of Education, they will develop a framework to identify areas of technical assistance that need to be provided to school systems and what agencies should provide it.
Most counties have already planned to increase salaries for teachers, prepare to expand prekindergarten opportunities for 3- and 4-year-old children and provide career counseling for middle and high school students.
Twenty school systems received unanimous approval last week for their local reform plans. Calvert, Charles and Garrett counties need to amend documentation on a Career and Counseling Memorandum of Understanding.
A second draft based on comments the City received from May 8, 2023 through June 30, 2023 will be available this winter for further feedback. Comments on the second draft will then be considered for the General Plan amendment before they are presented to the City Council for consideration in spring 2024. In the meantime, send your comments about Blueprint SD via email to bluep...@sandiego.gov.
The impacts of the General Plan amendment will be analyzed in a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) that is prepared according to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Future community plan updates can then tier from the citywide PEIR and analyze community-specific issues through the preparation of the appropriate CEQA document (for example, a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report [SEIR]). This approach will create a streamlined environmental review process that focuses on analyzing issues of local importance.
By providing an updated citywide framework for growth and streamlined environmental review process, neighborhood-level planning efforts can better align with the goals of the Climate Action Plan. Future community plan updates could potentially be completed within two to three years (versus four to five years).
The Blueprint will be implemented over the course of the next 10 years. Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) staff have been meeting since September to plan how the school system will meet these goals in a manner that is programmatically appropriate and fiscally responsible.
Blueprint Update, December 15, 2022
In collaboration with MSDE, the Accountability and Implementation Board (AIB) has released the final Blueprint Implementation Plan template. The initial plan draft covers the first 2 years of implementation. In the PowerPoint, staff will provide an overview of how the draft will be composed, the plan for stakeholder input, and the timeline for submitting by March of 2023. A second part of the plan will be due by March of 2024.
For the 2022 Local ESSA Consolidated Strategic Plan, MSDE has produced a simplified template to reduce duplication with other grant and Blueprint reporting. The Local ESSA Consolidated Strategic Plan typically includes appendices of grant applications for Title I, Title II, Title III, and Title IV funds awarded from the state. 2022 grant applications are being processed separately by MSDE and will come through the consent agenda. In the PowerPoint, staff will review the requirements of the Local ESSA Consolidated Strategic Plan and the timeline to submit the plan prior to the December 15th deadline.

The DC Water Board of Directors approved a new strategic plan, Blueprint 2.0, in July of 2021, and the new five-year plan takes effect on October 1, 2021. The plan is the successor to The Blueprint, launched in 2018, which has pushed us to operate as high-performing utility, improve employee engagement and the customer experience, better leverage technology, ensure a safe workplace, and enhance our readiness and resilience.
As CEO David Gadis says in the Foreword to Blueprint 2.0, "Now, the challenge before us is to build on that progress and set an ambitious course for the next five years and beyond. This organization has a hard-earned reputation for leadership and innovation, and in my opinion this plan, Blueprint 2.0, will accentuate our standing in the water and wastewater industry, ensure we continue to deliver unparallel water services to our community and position the organization to address the needs of the future."
Since the Blueprint was established in 2010, states have put in place practices to achieve an estimated 42 percent of the nitrogen-pollution reductions and 64 percent of the phosphorus reductions that the Blueprint requires. Much of this progress is due to reducing pollution from wastewater treatment plants. In fact, wastewater treatment upgrades are the key reason Maryland and Virginia, individually, may still meet their 2025 pollution-reduction commitments.
