What is Strategic Planning?
Strategic planning is the process by which leaders of an organization, such as a local government, determine what it intends to be in the future and how it will get there. It involves developing a vision for the organization's future and determining the necessary goals, priorities, and action strategies to achieve that vision.
As Yogi Berra would say:
"If you don't know where you are going - you might end up someplace else."
A strategic plan serves as a community's roadmap and is used to prioritize initiatives, resources, goals, and department operations and projects. The strategic plan is a big-picture document directing efforts and resources toward a clearly defined vision.

The first step will be resident and business input. We need to hear from you! Find out how you can provide input into the process below!
