The Plan is comprised of 10 "elements" or chapters and each element consists of goals, objectives, and policies to guide development and redevelopment, transportation, infrastructure, parks, and capital improvements. The Plan includes several optional elements, such as the Equestrian and Education Elements, focused on community priorities generally unique to Wellington. Each element is comprised of goals, objectives, and policies to address statutory requirements as well as community priorities.
