Goal: Encourage JFAC subcommittees to build on experiences from the site tour,

staff presentations and community roundtables to describe the Strengths,

Weaknesses, Opportunities and Constraints about each site being considered.

Step 1 – Brainstorm comments for each category

Step 2 – Report back highlights

Step 3 – Conduct ‘strawman’ with colored dots

Step 4 – Document and rank comments based on # of dots

Step 5 – Divide comments into five SWOC elements

Step 6 – Illustrate SWOC on maps
