Village Strategic Plan

A strategic plan is a top-level planning tool for an organization to establish clear policy direction over all operational aspects of its vision.  The Strategic Plan serves as a framework for decision making over a five-year period.  The plan is the result of a disciplined effort to facilitate decisions that will shape what the Village intends to accomplish.  This plan incorporated an assessment of the present state of Village governance, the gathering of critical information, setting goals and finally making decisions for the future.  This plan seeks to strengthen and build upon opportunities while addressing areas of concern.

In addition to the Village Board’s vision for the future of the Village, this plan also identifies actions, activities, and planning efforts that are currently active and those that are needed for continued operational success and effective administrative management.
