What is the Strategic Plan goal?
County leaders are developing a measurable strategic plan that considers current departmental plans, regional perspectives, citizen engagement, and future growth. The measures from the strategic plan will then be used as a framework for a county annual report. We are seeking input from residents, non-profit organizations, economic development organizations, county department leaders, county employees, our constitutional officers, and government organizations.
Who is leading this effort?
 The Northeast Florida Regional Council was asked to synergize all strategic plans/studies that Clay County and the North Florida region have completed. This provided the county with a road map of items to review, ensuring both our internal plans are aligned with each other and that we are aligned with the strategic goals of the region, where appropriate.
Collecting Various Perspectives
We will be completing this strategic planning process through facilitated discussions and surveys. The current goals for the strategic plan project outlined by the project leads are as follows:
Synthesize current departmental plans
Citizen and stakeholder engagement
Develop measurable county targets
Gather perspectives through facilitated discussions from the following groups:
- County residents (in all five districts)
- Nonprofit organizations
- Economic development organizations
- Department heads
- County employees not in leadership positions
- Constitutional officers (Clerk of Court and Comptroller's Office, Clay County Sheriff's Office, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections, Clay County School Board)
- Quasi-governmental organizations (Clay County Utility Authority, Clay Electric)
- Developers
- Federal and state congressional delegations
Facilitated Discussion
The first facilitated discussion for the strategic plan was held on April 26th with Clay County department heads and those in leadership positions. This included a 1.5-hour meeting with a welcome/team introduction, beginning discussion, main discussion, anticipated questions, summary, and wrap-up.
