The Strategic
Planning Division provides overarching strategic assessment
of general planning and policy
issues that have countywide, inter-jurisdictional and regional
significance. The Division identifies long term, cross-cutting,
county-wide issues that broadly affect quality of life and
economic vitality. The Division helps to focus direction,
identify new opportunities, and deliver priority projects
in an integrated and expedited fashion consistent with the
approved work program. In this way, important initiatives
requiring the rigor of strategic planning to marshal the creative
thinking and resources necessary are initiated and completed
expeditiously.
The mission of the Strategic Planning Division is to provide centralized, broadly strategic assessment of general planning and policy issues that's significant to the Planning Board and County Council, which will utilize technical information, generated by the Department, to facillitate the pursuit of long-term and priority projects.
