Residents invited to discuss county’s strategic plan
 |
| Local residents discuss their vision for the future of the county at James Lee Community Center in March. |
Fairfax County invites residents to the next round of meetings on the countywide strategic plan. Six community meetings have been scheduled, including one on Sept. 17 at Justice High School in Mason District, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Sign up here.
The strategic plan will outline a vision for the county for the next 10 to 20 years. Since the process began earlier this year, public input was sought online and through an earlier series of meetings.
As a result of discussions by staff and input from the public, the plan will focus on nine areas:
- Cultural and recreational opportunities
- Economic opportunity
- Education and lifelong learning
- Effective and efficient government
- Health and environment
- Housing and neighborhood livability
- Mobility and transportation
- Safety and security
- Self-sufficiency for people with vulnerabilities
Under the direction of County Executive Bryan Hill, teams of county staff have been developing challenge questions and indicators to measure progress for each of the nine areas.
At the upcoming community meetings, residents will their share their thoughts, insights, opinions, and experiences with regard to these areas of focus.
