What is a Strategic Plan?
Flagstaff County Council is responsible for developing a plan to determine the long-term strategic direction of the municipality. A Strategic Plan is a guide outlining Council’s key priorities and strategic goals for their term.
This Strategic Plan contains Council’s vision for the future of our Community of communities, along with Council’s guiding principles. It shapes our organization, as well as the municipal programs and services we provide to all residents of Flagstaff County.
