Town of Garner Strategic Plan
Introduction to the Town’ s New Strategic Plan
THE TOWN OF GARNER Strategic Plan is designed to be a multiyear representation of the Town’ s mission. It aims to serve as a roadmap for staff and Town Council over the next three to five years.
This new plan— an outgrowth of Council and staff input from earlier this year as well as several pre-existing documents— further defines the Town’ s strategic priorities. The structure better links Council and staff plans and employs a format that should be more useable for elected officials, staff, partners and citizens.
The plan includes these components:
• Goal statements that are the foundation of the Town’ s mission statement;
• Long-range objectives that further define the goals;
• Multiyear( three- to five-year) initiatives that will be executed to achieve the objectives; and
• Annual tasks captured in a separate working document and a reporting structure that will be updated regularly to track progress.
