Strategic Planning

undefined Opens in new windowThe City of Eugene Strategic Plan (PDF) provides overall direction and organizational focus for the 2023-2026 period. The plan was designed to position the organization to focus on issues identified by the community and the organization as top priorities and provides guidance for our programs and services, recognizing resource constraints. It is informed by the Eugene City Council’s Vision, Values, Goals document (PDF), which expresses the Council’s vision for the community, as well as by the most recent Community Survey results.

The Eugene City Council approved the direction outlined in the plan at their Work Session on July 26, 2023.

This website will continue to be updated as additional action planning and performance measures move forward.
