City of Aurora issued the following announcement on Oct. 19.

To ensure that residents have a chance to provide feedback on the city’s new strategic planning initiative, a survey is available from Oct. 19 through Nov. 2 at AuroraGov.org/StrategicPlan. The survey is available in both English and Spanish.

The survey follows a virtual public meeting that happened earlier this month to gather input for Aurora’s first-ever citywide strategic plan, which will be designed to ensure the community's needs are aligned with the city's policies, procedures and services in the coming years. Residents may view a recording of the meeting on the website.

This plan will serve as a detailed guide for how the city shapes the community's future and serve as a blueprint for city employees to follow when considering how to best provide services to residents.

The strategic plan will build on community input collected during the city's Aurora Places comprehensive planning process. Residents and local businesses helped drive the goals in Aurora Places, which focus on a strong economy, diversity and equity, housing for all, a healthy community, a thriving environment, an authentic Aurora, easy mobility and active transportation. These goals will guide city departments in creating action steps within the strategic plan.
