    6  (8)(11) Each local government is encouraged to articulate a
    7  vision of the future physical appearance and qualities of its
    8  community as a component of its local comprehensive plan. The
    9  vision should be developed through a collaborative planning
   10  process with meaningful public participation and shall be
   11  adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction. Neighboring
   12  communities, especially those sharing natural resources or
   13  physical or economic infrastructure, are encouraged to create
   14  collective visions for greater-than-local areas. Such collective
   15  visions shall apply in each city or county only to the extent
   16  that each local government chooses to make them applicable. The
   17  state land planning agency shall serve as a clearinghouse for
   18  creating a community vision of the future and may utilize the
   19  Growth Management Trust Fund, created by s. 186.911, to provide
   20  grants to help pay the costs of local visioning programs. When a
   21  local vision of the future has been created, a local government
   22  should review its comprehensive plan, land development
   23  regulations, and capital improvement program to ensure that
   24  these instruments will help to move the community toward its
   25  vision in a manner consistent with this act and with the state
   26  comprehensive plan. A local or regional vision must be
   27  consistent with the state vision, when adopted, and be
   28  internally consistent with the local or regional plan of which
   29  it is a component. The state land planning agency shall not
   30  adopt minimum criteria for evaluating or judging the form or
   31  content of a local or regional vision.
