Bernalillo County is inviting residents to participate in a public survey to gather feedback on the county’s newly re-developed 5-Year Strategic Plan.
The plan is designed to guide the county over the next five years and addresses infrastructure, planning needs, public safety and overall community well-being.
The survey will remain open through Friday, Aug. 16.
According to Shirley Ragin, interim county manager, the goal is to create a safe, economically thriving county focused on quality of life that is fiscally sustainable for its residents, businesses, and visitors.
“This strategic plan is a collaborative effort incorporating insights from all 26 county departments, elected officials and local stakeholders,” Ragin says. “Public feedback is crucial in helping us refine and implement a strategic plan that incorporates the needs of our community.”
Key Components of the Strategic Plan:
- Public Safety: Enhancing general public safety and behavioral health services.
- Economic Growth: Creating a thriving economic environment for residents, businesses and visitors.
- Quality of Life: Improving the quality of life through community outreach, public health initiatives and sustainable development.
- Fiscal Sustainability: Ensuring financial accountability and sustainability for long-term prosperity.
Before composing the plan, a series of interviews and surveys were conducted with county commissioners, elected officials, the county manager, deputy county managers and the strategic plan committee. The research process included one-on-one interviews, data collection, analysis, conclusions and implementing the findings into the plan.
