SYNOPSIS 
The Long Range Plans for Aviation and Small Business Development will operationalize
the Century Agenda strategies and achieve the Century Agenda goals in the next 10
years. Commissioners will be briefed on proposed key actions and targets for 2016  
2020, as they relate to achieving the Century Agenda by 2025. Feedback from the
Commission will assist in modifying/guiding task level project plans. 
BACKGROUND 
The Long Range Plan (LRP) development represents the efforts of cross functional teams
at the Port to align our actions and tasks with the Century Agenda's strategies and
objectives. Its implementation will allow the Port to more effectively and transparently
improve the Port's ability to support the local economy by creating 100,000 new jobs for
the Puget Sound region, while addressing key environmental concerns of all its
stakeholders. 
The Long Range Plan provides tools, baseline data, and metrics for implementing,
monitoring and reporting on progress on the Century Agenda over a rolling five-year
planning period. In addition, the LRP links the Century Agenda to each of the Port's
individual Business Plans. 
In order to ensure a "One-Port" participation and ownership of the Century Agenda,
various cross-functional internal LRP development teams were created between June and
September 2015. These teams include Aviation, Maritime, Small Business Development,
Workforce Development, Environmental, and High Performance Organization
(combining Operational Excellence and Organizational Alignment). 
For the March 22nd briefing, the Aviation and the Small Business Development teams are
proposing key actions and five-year targets for review by Commission. 
On April 12th,  the Maritime, Workforce Development and High Performance
Organization teams will present their proposed key actions and five-year targets.
