How to read this plan

The strategic plan describes the outcomes we want to achieve over the next 10 years and the strategies we will use to achieve them. This plan uses the eight pillars from the community vision to guide the outcomes and strategies. The pillars rely on each other for success and should not be considered in isolation. They should be read with the community vision to ensure that the spirit and intent of the vision is captured in every initiative.
