ROSWELL, GA — The City of Roswell approved its inaugural citywide strategic plan during the June 14 City Council meeting. City department directors will now begin to develop an implementation action plan with goals and key objectives based on the strategic plan. This implementation plan will then be adopted by Roswell's elected officials at a future mayor and city council meeting. Roswell Mayor Lori Henry said she is looking forward to this next step and to seeing the community's priorities directly reflected in city policies, programs and services. "We heard from the community, and they told us what they believe the city should prioritize for the next five years," Henry said in a statement. "With this historic document approved by council, Roswell now has a roadmap to enact those priorities and ensure the city stays an amazing place to live and work." The Strategic Plan is the result of community engagement beginning in summer 2019 and ending in fall 2020 with more than 7,000 comments from more than 2,100 participants, including residents and business owners. A final community summit was held in the fall to share the information and create the community's vision and value statements to share with the mayor and council. The mayor and council then refined that work into eight goals that address transportation, community growth, economic development, city services, collaboration and community engagement, safety, governance, organizational excellence and quality of life.
