Town seeks public input at Strategic Plan Visioning Workshops September 27

The Town of Wake Forest is in the process of updating its Strategic Plan, and we need your input. On Monday, Sept. 27, the Town will host virtual visioning workshops at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Each one-hour session will give residents, business owners, and stakeholders the opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions on Wake Forest’s long-term vision, vitality, and sustainability.

Both workshops will have the same format and content. Each will include a short presentation on the draft strategic plan elements developed by the Board of Commissioners (BOC) and engage participants in discussions regarding key issues and priorities for the Board to consider as part of the updated Strategic Plan.

Anyone wishing to participate should register for the session of their choice at www.wakeforestnc.gov/strategic-plan/strategic-plan-update. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the virtual workshop.

The Town’s 2017 Strategic Plan articulated a vision for our community’s future and provided an action agenda to achieve its implementation. It also contains the mission, vision statements, goals, and strategies that have guided the Town’s allocation and use of resources over the past five years.

Although the BOC meets annually to refine the strategies in the plan, the time has come for a comprehensive update that will guide elected officials’ decisions over the next five years.
