Project Overview
Project Name: OEM: Strategic Planning
Project Type:
Project Description: Prince William County strives to provide the best services to our Citizens. As such, Strategic Plans have been created using citizen input to ensure all voices are heard and all visions understood. This project began in FY 2001 and has continued to improve throughout the years. The current 2004-2008 Strategic Plan contained six goals: Community Development, Economic Development, Education, Human Services, Public Safety, and Transportaion. The four-year Strategic Plan is updated annually. The 2004-2008 Strategic Plan was created with input from the citizens of Prince William County to help the County achieve its long-term vision. As such, it provides policy guidance for service delivery and resource allocation decisions for the Board of County Supervisors, beginning with the development of the Fiscal 2004 budget.
