Strategic Plan

Collier County Strategic Plan Overview

On March 4, 2025, the Collier County Board of Commissioners (Board) held a workshop to discuss the results of the 2025 County’s Strategic Plan Review Process. Under the leadership of the County Manager, county staff participated in an extensive review of the current Strategic Plan framework and the Collier County Priority Project list. At the conclusion of that process, staff proposed no update to the current Strategic Plan, but minor changes to the Priority list. In addition, staff recommended to continue measuring and reporting updates to the Priority projects throughout the year on a quarterly and annual basis.

On April 8, 2025, the Board adopted the 2025 Strategic Plan framework and updated Collier County Priority Project list. The updated Priority list consists of two (2) categories – Category A and Category B. Category A priorities will be updated on a quarterly basis and Category B priorities will be updated on an annual basis.

Strategic Plan Management involves formulation and implementation of the major goals and initiatives identified by executive leadership based on consideration of resources and an assessment of external and internal environments and integrating the results into goals, objectives, and strategies.

The 2025 Strategic Plan framework and Priority list align the Board’s overall vision for the County with identifiable and measurable priorities. Furthermore, the Strategic Initiatives Division and Office of Management Budget will ensure proper alignment between County priorities and the annual Priority-Based Budget development process.

The framework includes the County’s Values, Mission, Vision, Focus Areas, and Objectives. The Values articulate the culture of our organization and support the Vision and Mission to unlock a high-performing workplace. The Focus Areas utilize strategic priorities to further the Vision and Mission while the Objectives identify specific and measurable goals our teams seek to accomplish.

The Priority list is a Board approved set of projects that will be tracked throughout the year and updated either on a quarterly basis or annual basis. The projects are highly critical tasks that will undergo measurable work throughout the calendar year and be aligned with the Priority-Based Budgeting initiative.
