The stakeholders who created this strategic plan for the City of St. Charles were charged with formulating a vision and mission for the City of St. Charles. However, what started as a plan for the city as an organization quickly changed as a result of feedback from community stakeholders. This input revealed that there is an inextricable link between "city" and "community" and that stakeholders use the terms interchangeably. In short, they view the city as a leader in community progress.
