City Strategic Plan
What is Strategic Planning?
Strategic planning is the process in which yearly priorities from all City Departments are identified. In addition to identifying the 2025-2026 fiscal year priorities, long-term objectives are considered as well. This process can help guide the City into the upcoming years with clear and comprehensive goals.
About the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Strategic Plan
In 2022, Moab launched a community visioning process to shape the city’s direction through 2030 (City of Moab, 2022). The result was the Moab – Tomorrow Together Vision & Strategic Action Plan, which identifies “strategic pillars”— major themes that residents and stakeholders identified as essential to Moab’s future.
When adopting the plan, the City Council affirmed its commitment to using it as a guide,
stating in the resolution that it would serve as “an expression of community values in adopting policy that will bring about outcomes as described in the Plan.” The resolution also emphasized the importance of its use as a living document, noting:
“The City Council desires to maintain flexibility to respond to opportunities and needs as they arise and may deviate or amend the Plan as future priorities and needs dictate.”
In that spirit, the City used its annual strategic planning sessions on January 8-9, 2025, to guide implementation, ensuring strategies remain relevant and responsive. Follow-up workshops in May, April, and May further refined the 2025- 2026 plan. This annual reassessment and revision allows for regular monitoring and adjustments based on changing conditions.
