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 .
