The city’s commission formally approved the plan on July 3 after meeting and discussing strategic focus area goals for the past year during a series of planning workshops.
Now, with a plan in place, the city looks to shift from a policy and governance perspective to a more action-forward approach by meeting the following objectives:
- Facilitating two-way communication between the city and residents
- Enhancing transparency and public access to information
- Cultivating a culture of continuous improvement and leveraging technology to optimize operational efficiency
- Ensuring that existing infrastructure remains functional, meets current standards and can adapt to changing needs or technological advancements
- Promoting the growth of small businesses and high-wage industries by preserving key economic hubs and maximizing workforce readiness
Also on the city’s radar is maximizing revenue sources through proactive grant pursuit and exploration of new opportunities.
