The plan must name which properties to preserve, restore, develop, maintain, or acquire; include a tentative budget for the next five fiscal years; propose a permanent management structure; recommend partnerships with government and private groups; propose transportation links (including pedestrian and bicycle trails and an interurban between Wright‑Dunbar and Wright‑Patterson Air Force Base); address vehicle use, traffic, parking, and public transit; suggest educational and cultural programs; set standards for construction, restoration, and use; and create an index with documentary evidence of historic importance, including Miami Valley places tied to the Wright brothers, aviation history, or Paul Laurence Dunbar.
