Liberty Hill officials have given a green light to developing the city’s next five-year strategic plan, outlining priorities for growth and development.
The details
City Council members approved a $95,000 contract with consultant Future iQ at its March 25 meeting.
City Manager Thomas Hunter said the plan will serve as a roadmap to implement City Council’s short-term goals. He also said it will help to ensure that the city’s different departments are all on the same page.
“It’s going to take all hands on deck to be able to ride this next wave of growth and to capitalize on the economic opportunities that are going to be right in front of us,” Hunter said. “Having strategic plan alignment is significantly important.”
Council made funding available for the strategic plan as part of a budget amendment approved at the same meeting.
Get involved
Hunter said staff expect the plan to take six months to develop. He described the process as “a public engagement-heavy endeavor.”
City staff said there will be several opportunities for public input in the coming months, including booths at city events like Whimsy and Wonder and the Independence Day Spectacular.
