Share your ideas for Oxford County’s future
Oxford County is creating a new Strategic Plan for 2023-2026 to guide its plans for the future: how it will meet the needs of its citizens, how it will maintain our vibrant communities as we continue to grow, and how we will work together as a County to accomplish this. This work will consider Oxford County's current strategic plan , but will also utilize new perspectives to look at our strengths and challenges as a community.
Right now, we're looking for your thoughts and ideas on what should be included in Oxford County's new Strategic Plan.
SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED.
About the Strategic Plan
A municipal strategic plan sets out a municipal government's top priorities and the shared vision for the future of the community. It provides a roadmap for Council, staff, and the community as to what the County wants to be and how it will get there.
The final plan will be a culmination of different ideas, perspectives, and strategic thinking. It will embrace opportunities, identify challenges, and leverage our assets to help us grow and sustain the County for years to come.
