Strategic Plan for Mesa County
This strategic plan is an intentional and action-oriented roadmap to guide decision-making in Mesa County.
It moves us from where we are toward our Vision, to be the best place to live, work and play for all generations. Our Mission statement, providing the infrastructure so you can live the life you want, and Values are guideposts along that journey for what we’re working to accomplish and the imperatives for getting that work done.
This plan is a product of input from staff, department heads, and leadership. It is uniquely Mesa County and is focused on forward momentum and meaningful action.
Shaped by our Vision, Mission, and Values, three initiatives focus our goals and actions.
- Building the Best Team provides the foundational, people-infrastructure necessary to get the work done. It’s who we are.
- Delivering Excellence intentionally challenges that best team in what we do day-to-day for those who have entrusted us with these solemn responsibilities. It’s what we do and how we deliver.
- Leaning Into the Future focuses on the imperative to think beyond today and toward the ever-changing environment affecting our Vision and Mission. It’s how we prepare for tomorrow.
Finally, our pursuit of excellence demands we not only measure ourselves, but that we do so against best in class. Performance Metrics are collocated alongside goals and initiatives and summarized in a stand-alone section later in the document.
We believe the Initiatives, Goals, Actions, and Performance Metrics identified in this plan guide our collective actions for the foreseeable future. They demand our vigilance and adaptability as Colorado grows and thrives. And, plainly, we intend to be in the vanguard of that growth.
