Officials said they used an extensive community engagement process and the plan reflects the collective vision of a thriving community.
“The strategic plan serves as our guiding tool to prioritize residents' needs, deliver services aligned with our community’s vision, and ensure accountability through strong performance metrics," County Administrator Joy Andrews said. “It is our essential reference to move forward prudently, making well-informed decisions that reflect our commitment to transparency, efficiency, and excellence.”
The plan centers on six core strategic priorities: community trust, community well-being, economic prosperity, enhanced conservation, infrastructure, and organizational excellence.
Assistant County Administrator Sarah Taylor leads the Office of Performance and Transparency, which began developing the plan in 2023.
“The strategic plan is a living document that will help us define our future vision for the County,” Taylor said. “It reflects our community’s priorities, enabling us to make informed budget and policy decisions while securing the resources needed to keep our County thriving. We are committed to continuously tracking our progress and improving service delivery for everyone in the County.”
The county will use strategic planning software to monitor progress toward its goals. An annual report to the Board of Commissioners will give transparency and other data will be shared with the public.
“The St. Johns County Strategic Plan is a celebration of community input and public engagement,” County Administrator Joy Andrews said. “We’re excited about our ongoing collaboration as we embark on this journey together to shape the community’s future.”
