On behalf of the Town of Lake Lure community as a whole, this Town Council empowers the Strategic Planning Steering Committee it has appointed to undertake a dedicated and concerted effort to envision the desired future for this community. Set a course to take us into the next century and establish a broad vision, or identity, for this community. In short, we empower you to decide who and what this community should attempt to become, and to develop, the action steps we need to follow to reach that point. We ask that you remember that strategic planning is both a process and a plan.
Strategic planning is intended to achieve direction and commitment.
Unlike land use planning , zoning, and economic development, strategic planning involves a variety of issues in an effort to develop an overall umbrella strategy for the community's future. We are not sending you forth on this mission without assistance. First, we will be providing a trained and experienced facilitator to guide and work with you throughout this process. This paid professional will be there to aid and assist, but will not dictate or decide for you. Secondly, there is a set of established steps to follow in the strategic planning process.
