Our Strategic Plan for 2020, 2025 and 2035

The City of Gainesville Strategic Plan is adopted by the City Commission for the following objectives:

  1. Prioritize how we allocate our resources 
  2. Establish policy guidelines
  3. Provide governance direction

The Strategic Plan outlines our vision, mission and values. It summarizes the community profile and strategic planning process. A set of goals, initiatives and high-level performance measures are defined to ensure we meet our objectives. The plan discusses the commitment to managing for results. Various strategies are laid out to collect, analyze and use data for improved decision-making and planning.

Financial Year 2016

Adopted by the City Commission in December 2015, the Blue Ribbon Report(PDF, 3MB) recommends "Change 3: Our 'Get It Done' Plan" as part of the city's redesign to become a more citizen-centered local government. The report identifies a need to have "one citizen-centric strategic plan for the city - a unified document that directly guides resource expenditures, financial planning, workforce development, policy decisions, collective bargaining and service delivery to the citizens of Gainesville."

In early 2016, we launched the Gainesville Creative Series, striving to redesign the way in which we develop and implement the city's strategic plan, the leading guide of our organization.
