City's Strategic Plan

The City's strategic plan serves as a guide to fulfill Harrisburg’s mission and vision through a number of goals, objectives and actions. There are four overarching themes in the plan, which bring focus to the mission and vision of the city and organize the long term goals of the plan. The four themes of the plan are:

Great Neighborhoods,
Public Safety,
Economic Development, and
Efficient Governance

Within each theme are goals, and objectives and actions. The goals are intended to last for many years and should only change with shifting community values. The objectives and actions however, are dynamic and should be modified to ensure the goals, vision, and mission of the city are being met.

The Strategic Plan fulfills the desires of the Mayor and City Council to look forward and plan ahead. The plan is intended to enhance the quality of life for our citizens and patrons, as well as ensuring the city organization is run with efficiency and effectiveness.
