You're Invited: Edmonds Strategic Plan Open House Is May 3

What is the strategic plan? Think of it as a road map establishing city priorities and actions to address pressing community needs.

What is Edmonds’ vision?  What does the future hold? “What does this have to do with you?”

Edmonds citizens and representatives of businesses and land owners, community organizations and elected officials have been collaborating to help set the course for the city over the coming years.

This set of priorities and actions is being encompassed in a Strategic Plan that will ultimately be adopted by the City Council to set budget and action priorities for the next decade. Think of this as a road map establishing city priorities and actions to address pressing community needs, how your tax dollars will be spent, and what can be done to move Edmonds forward.

The May 3 open house is a critical step in the process. Many ideas and opinions have been gathered over the past several months, but the open house is where it all comes together in one place at one time. Find out what the City has learned from adult, youth, business, employee and customer surveys, and during focus group meetings, interviews, and two community Charrettes (brainstorming sessions).
