City Launches Five-Year Strategic Plan Update

The City of St. Charles is updating its five-year Strategic Plan which will serve as a road map, guiding decisions about the City’s future. The Strategic Plan will incorporate feedback from the community and key stakeholders, establish the City’s vision, and align City goals, priorities, and budgets over the next five years.

“It’s our residents and businesses that make St. Charles the great city that it is,” says Mayor Lora Vitek. “Your involvement in the Strategic Planning Process is invaluable. We want to make sure that this plan truly reflects our community and what you think is important. “

City Administrator Heather McGuire acknowledges the benefits of virtual meetings. “Virtual meetings make it easier for some residents to participate. People today have busy schedules. Whatever the City can do to reach as many residents as possible so they can be a part of the strategic planning process, is a plus. For this reason, both in-person and virtual options were used to encourage community participation.”
