2025-2028 Strategic Plan Development Process

Updated: July 18, 2024

Prince William County is working on developing its next 4-year Strategic Plan. The development process is divided into five phases: Planning and Launch, Gaining Insights, Strategic Plan Development, Strategic Plan Adoption, and Strategic Plan Implementation. The timeline below shows activities in the different phases.

The county recently finished phase 2, the Gaining Insights phase, by gathering input from staff, residents, and other community stakeholders about what should be prioritized in the next plan.

To gather input, the following activities were conducted:

• Each Board Supervisor hosted town hall meetings for residents.
• Resident focus groups took place in each magisterial district.
• Focus groups were held for county employees.
• Community discussions were held with local businesses and the leaders of PWC’s cities and towns.

In addition, the strategic planning consultant conducted individual interviews with each Board Supervisor and County Executive, Chris Shorter, to gather their perspectives on the direction of PWC over the next four years.

Results from input received during phase 2 can be found here.

The next phase is Strategic Plan Development (phase 3), where the Board of County Supervisors and county leadership will create goals, objectives and action strategies based on the input and data collected. The Board of County Supervisors began drafting the Strategic Plan goals during a work session on July 9th. Phase 3 is scheduled to conclude in November 2024.
