"To plan is the only guarantee to support the objectives and optimize the management of resources..."

May 23 - Today I met with Ramiro Fernandez Patri, secretary of public investment for the Ministry of Planning, Investment, Projects, and Public Services of the Province of Formosa. We had a very interesting conversation about planning and Argentina's planning structure.
Ramiro gave me a copy of Argentina's Strategic Plan, the Province of Formosa Strategic Plan, and Formosa's City Plan!
This is the first time I have come across any strategic plans here. The reason for this is because unlike Oregon, Argentina does not require planning. The province of Formosa has chosen to put together plans because they feel it is important for efficient development and it improves their chances of having their projects financed by Nacional Argentina. I was pleased to hear this.
I left his office feeling good about the work I do for the Oregon Department of Transportation and the importance of it.
