Strategic Plan
Overview
Strategic Planning is a roadmap employed by many local governments to guide the use of money, personnel and resources to realize a shared vision of the future. It outlines what a community hopes to achieve through a long-term and annual goal-setting process and provides steps for reaching those goals.
As the Town of Wake Forest continues to grow and thrive, the Board of Commissioners aims to chart a course with a strategic plan which articulates a vision for our community's future that will ensure vitality and sustainability and fulfill its mission.
The Town is guided by a comprehensive strategic planning process. The Board reviews progress of our Strategic Plan priorities on a quarterly basis to refine the items that comprise the Town's strategic plan and to ensure that it is reflective of the changing needs of our growing community.
