What is a Strategic Plan?
Simply stated, a strategic plan serves as the community's roadmap that will take us from where we are today to where we want to go in the coming years.Having a plan is as important to our future as architectural plans are to building a home.
The foundation of strategic planning are the statements we make that describe who we are, where we want to go, and how we will strive for our goals. They include:

• Vision Statement
• Mission Statement
• Value Statements

Why Plan?
Increasingly, governments are faced with the challenge of "doing more with less." Tax dollars are finite, and yet they need to be allocated where they are needed most. A strategic plan developed in concert with the people we serve helps us allocate limited resources to the programs and services that matter most to our residents.
