Strategic Plan

The Strategic Plan guides the work of the City Council and City staff as it grows and responds to the evolving needs of the community. The Plan articulates areas of strategic priorities which target the City's efforts and resources in ways intended to have the greatest impact in five key focus areas over the life of the Plan. Over the next two years, the Strategic Plan will point the way toward maintaining and improving the qualities that make Grand Junction an outstanding city.

Strategic Priorities 

The Plan is based on the vision of the One Grand Junction Comprehensive Plan adopted by City Council in late 2020. It is structured with the following Strategic Priorities:

  • Mobility & Infrastructure
  • Economic Development
  • Housing
  • Public Safety
  • Quality of Life

The Strategic Priorities translate the vision and goals from the One Grand Junction Comprehensive Plan into an actionable strategy that guides the organization’s focus, work, and resource alignment. It is a collaborative effort that is led by the City Council’s vision and leadership, reflective of staff contributions, and influenced by resident feedback obtained during the comprehensive planning process.

City Council and City staff will be using this document to guide their policy and decision-making over the next two years.
