Message to the Community

Thanks to the feedback received from Huntsville residents, we’re excited to share the new Strategic Plan and the priorities that are important to the community. This is our north star. It is a vision of where we are headed and what we want Huntsville to become, but foundationally, it is based on deeper connections with you. We are committed to responsible decision-making, engaging with our residents, and growing together.
Nancy Alcock, Mayor

 

The new Strategic Plan tells us not just what to focus on, but how the community wants to be supported. It guides our day-to-day activities and focuses our efforts on key priorities that have been chosen by Huntsville. As your trusted community partner, we will deliver on these Council-supported initiatives through transparent practices. We are committed to investing in our people and services to support the Huntsville of today and tomorrow.
Denise Corry, Chief Administrative Officer

How was the Strategic Plan developed?

In 2023, over the course of a few months, we engaged the community through a public survey, community events, and focus groups. We asked Huntsville “What matters to you?”. Using the feedback received, we developed a strategic plan focused on the key priority areas identified by the community.
