Strategic Plan
Strategic planning is a municipality’s process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue it's vision. Strategy has many definitions, but generally involves setting goals, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions. In other words, a strategic plan simply provides the means for a municipality to chart a future it desires rather than reacting to events as they unfold.
We are excited to announce the new Strategic Plan for 2026-2030 is now complete and can be viewed here.
