Strategic Plan

The Evanston City Council unanimously approved the strategic plan on March 27, 2006. The plan took nine months to develop and will help focus the organization over the next five years. Strategic planning determines where an organization is going, how it's going to get there and measures success over time. It ensures the most effective use of the organization's limited resources by focusing the resources on key priorities.

The Strategic Plan features an overall vision and mission, as well as specific visions for economics, infrastructure, natural resources, partnerships, governance, neighborhoods and social programs. Each of these visions falls under one of three value areas: Economic Viability, Environmental Sustainability and Strengthening Community. The 13 goals of the Strategic Plan address these visions with objectives that support the community's values.
