Description: The Lexington 2020 Vision Committee will be stewards of the January 2001

action items, they will identify priorities and those entities, which have responsibility. The
Committee will not be involved in implementation directly, but will have ongoing interaction
with appropriate town bodies around the implementation steps. The Committee will develop
well-defined measures for tracking and a schedule for reporting on implementation progress.
The Committee will also keep larger constituencies engaged in the visions and goals, which
