64 projects and scenarios and their ability to meet the goals and visions established for the long-range plan. If those goals include generating new revenue sources or gaining access to previously unavailable sources of equity and finance, then toll projects and P3 procurement strategies would score highly in this area and might therefore be more likely to be advanced.
