The findings reveal that in many instances, strategic planning is being used successfully and the most important factor that contributes to its success is the leadership and commitment of council to the initiation and implementation of the plan.

Changes in annexation and incorporation included a required countywide land use planning process that limits annexations and incorporations to certain areas and subjects them to new restrictions. The law also gave counties a major new role in the annexation planning process and in annexation and incorporation decisions. It also preserved their revenues in newly-annexed and incorporated territories.
