The plan is available in various forms, from a brief executive summary to a detailed plan with contributing data from our survey, interviews, and listening tours. Thank you to all who contributed to the development of our plan, and a special thanks to our Council Vice-Chair, Susan Steinhauser, for her hard work in leading this process as Chair of our Strategic Planning Committee.
