Our strategic plan is a long-term vision of where we want the City of Yuma to be in the future, as well as the steps we will take to get there. It serves as a roadmap for priorities, goals and initiatives for the City and its future.

In the fall of 2020, the City started its strategic planning process. City leadership gathered public input through a community-wide listening tour and online surveys. In October the City held a Vision and Goal Setting Session, where the City Council developed a Vision Statement and Five Strategic Outcomes.
