24. + Next Steps for California Identify lead state agency and interagency working group Continue to build inventory, repository, infrastructure Refine state-agency requirements, add program costs and determine real $$ benefits to program Roll that up to reflect needs and benefits across state agencies Consider adding business needs from county/regional requirements (potential huge source of funding!) Identify and align state sources of funding Prioritize acquisition in a cost-effective fashion All of this = An Elevation Plan for California 24
