The Strategic Plan drives the City’s annual budget. The Fiscal Plan is driven and arranged by strategic priorities and desired outcomes.

• Preliminary Fiscal Plan for the Upcoming Fiscal Year
• Current Year Fiscal Plan
• Fiscal Plan Library

We developed the below Strategic Plan Framework to give you a sense of:

• Where the Strategic Plan fits in with our Master Plan and Fiscal Plans
• How our values, vision and mission shape the Strategic Plan
• How the plan's priorities, outcomes, objectives, strategies and metrics work together
• How the City will hold itself accountable to the plan through annual performance reports and staff performance evaluations

Our values are what we stand for. They are embedded throughout the entire Strategic Plan and guide all City work.

Grand Rapids will be nationally recognized as an equitable, welcoming, innovative and collaborative city with a robust economy, safe and healthy community, and the opportunity for a high quality of life for all.

To elevate quality of life through excellent City services.

Strategic Priorities are what we want to achieve. We've identified 6 Strategic Priorities.

We've created outcomes, objectives, strategies and metrics for each one.
