The Strategic Plan is our guiding plan for the City of Temple and serves as a management tool that helps the organization align its leadership, resources, and operations in support of achieving the City’s vision of making Temple a place you love to call home.
In September 2019, the City Council adopted the City of Temple 2020 Strategic Plan. The plan includes the City’s vision, mission, values, and strategic focus areas for fiscal years 2020 through 2028. While the focus areas and goals of the City's Strategic plan will be re-evaluated every five years, the initiatives and priorities that ensure the implementation of the Plan are evaluated annually during the budgeting process.
