Clearwater County's Strategic Plan acts as a guide to provide focus and purpose to all that we do. It is the most important plan as it shapes our organization, municipal programs and services we provide to residents of Clearwater County.
Every four years, following the municipal elections, work on renewing the strategic plan begins; however, strategic planning is an ongoing activity through monitoring, reporting and budgeting. Strategic planning is used to determine long-term vision and goals, and to develop the action plan to achieve those goals.
