Strategic Focus Areas (Key City Initiatives)

On December 3, 2003, senior staff of the City of Tampa, along with Mayor Pam Iorio, completed the administration’s first strategic planning retreat. The retreat marked the beginning of the City’s strategic planning process and culminated in the development of a vision for the City, a mission statement, organizational values and priorities. Over the course of a day and a half, twenty-six members of the senior staff, including department heads and administrators, agreed to establish the strategic focus areas.

• Tampa's Strategic Focus Areas
The City of Tampa Strategic Planning Process will become a cornerstone for the City's delivery of services and operations. Before we can allocate our available resources, we must first understand the needs of our community and develop a vision for our future. By looking ahead and determining our needs, we will establish a vision for what level of service we will provide, along with an understanding of what resources will be necessary to provide them.
