BACKGROUND
To maintain momentum and build upon the success of work aligned to the FY 2021-2023 Strategic Plan, staff initiated the development of an updated Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2024-2028. Beginning in January 2023, department directors and key staff engaged energetically in extensive strategy sessions over three months leading to the development of the latest plan. Departmental representatives collaborated within the three Strategic Focus Areas to refine the organizational core values, identify key issues, develop measurable objectives, and define priority actions intended to guide future tactical planning, budgeting, and operational performance. The FY24-28 Strategic Plan builds upon the County Manager’s three Priority Areas, the 2013 Board of County Commissioners Adopted Priority Areas, and the Board’s Guiding Philosophies from their 2019 Board Retreat and aligns with the five focus areas defined in the One Gaston 2040 vision document. The plan serves as an internal roadmap for the organization as we strive to ensure communities are healthy and safe, maintain Gaston County’s position as a leader in economic development, provide residents and visitors opportunities for recreation and personal enrichment, and work toward achieving the community’s vision as “A place where everyone thrives.” With the approval of the attached Resolution of Support, the Board hereby adopts revisions to the organization’s Core Values and directs the County Manager to operationalize these through the implementation of the FY 2024-2028 Strategic Plan.
