The Wheatland Town Board has undertaken a Strategic Planning Initiative referred to as “Wheatland 2030” to help our community achieve its “best possible future” through the development of a well-defined community vision and roadmap to success. As part of this initiative, the Wheatland Town Board has approved key foundational elements of a strategic plan for the Town of Wheatland. These elements include an aspirational vision of our community by the year 2030 and a set of strategic directions intended to facilitate successful realization of this vision.
Vision
“The Town of Wheatland is a safe, clean, friendly and prosperous community that is welcoming to visitors, with a vibrant small-town, rural atmosphere, great natural beauty and amenities that facilitate a high quality of life for residents of all ages and interests. Wheatland strives to be a model of contemporary small-town America, seamlessly touching the past through its rural and historic character, while actively embracing a bright future.”
Strategic Directions
Four synergistic, broad statements of strategic direction have been defined as a set of high level goals intended to steer subsequent elements of the planning and executional processes, including objectives, detailed strategies and related actions:
- Towards a more recognizable, engaging identity.
- Towards sustainable community financial vitality.
- Towards accommodating housing and building stock.
- Towards efficient operations and enabling infrastructure.
Thanks to the many Town of Wheatland residents and other community partners who provided input and feedback that helped serve as the basis for the development of this vision and associated strategic directions. While this is a significant step on the journey towards realization of our community vision, there is clearly much more do be done and many opportunities to contribute. Wheatland 2030 is built on the principles of open government and as always, your suggestions, comments and contributions are both welcome and encouraged.
We have the opportunity to transform today’s visions into tomorrow’s realities, helping build a thriving future that is sustainable for the next generation. Standing on the foundation of those who have come before us, we can build on today’s strengths and overcome all challenges, through a combination of strategic planning, dedication and hard work, becoming the next great small town success story!
