SYNOPSIS 
The Long Range Plan for Environment operationalizes Century Agenda strategies to 
achieve environmental 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). 
On March 22nd, the Aviation and Small Business Development teams presented their
proposed key actions and five-year targets. At the April 12th briefing, the Workforce
Development team  presented its  key actions and five-year targets for review by
Commission.
