* Innovation & Technology: The Future Ready plan includes creating a streamlined, digital business-permitting tool, expanding broadband access, and partnering with startups for environmental solutions.
* Resilience & Sustainability: The agenda prioritizes storm-hardening infrastructure, energy-efficient building upgrades, and fostering green technology to protect against climate change.
