The conservation and improvement of neighborhoods citywide, including the rebuilding and renewal of neighborhoods damaged by Hurricane Ike;
The protection and management of sensitive natural and cultural resources; and,
Investments in the island's transportation network, community facilities, utilities, and other support systems.
