The Strategic Plan sets our direction for the future and guides the City’s multi-year Business Plan. Though originally conceived as a six-year plan, in FY 2020 the planning window was expanded by two years to account for the fiscal uncertainties brought-on by the COVID-19 Pandemic. It is through the multi-year planning process that the City’s Strategic Plan is put into action, adding further detail for the accountability, timing, and resourcing of each initiative and priority.
