St. Charles City Council Approves Strategic Plan For Next 5 Years

ST. CHARLES, IL — The St. Charles City Council approved a long-term strategic plan for the city during a meeting earlier this month.

The city of St. Charles strategic plan, which outlines proposed goals and guiding principles for the coming years, was put together after eight months of interviews, focus groups, planning sessions, and surveys with residents, businesses, community partners, elected officials and employees. The St. Charles City Council will use the strategic plan to guide budget and policy decisions for the next five years.

“We wanted to hear from as many people as possible. So we held both in-person and virtual community planning sessions,” said City Administrator Heather McGuire. “We also hosted a dedicated website where members of the community could pin comments, ideas, and photos. The site successfully drew more than 10,000 visits. I want to thank everyone who participated in the Strategic Planning process. Your feedback was invaluable.”
