WELCOME TO THE

OPPORTUNITY BLUEPRINT

With the last City of Whitehall Strategic Plan created over a decade ago, City leaders recently embarked on a new planning process to reflect the City's current state and updated priorities. In early 2023, the City engaged professional consulting firm – the Management Advisory Group – to design a planning process that incorporated feedback and data from multiple local sources (see graphic below), as well as from regional, state and other macro factors impacting local government.

This information was condensed into baseline data and presented back to City Council and department heads at a Strategic Planning Retreat in June 2023. The Retreat culminated in drafts of new City mission, vision and value statements, as well as the identification of new strategic goals. The full plan (as proposed to City Council) will be shared at the September 5 Community Meeting and posted here after.

HOW WAS THE PLANNED DEVELOPED?

Data about the community's satisfaction with services and their community priorities were drawn from prior Community Attitudes Surveys, most recently conducted in 2022
