Strategic Plan
You imagined Nixa’s future, now we have a plan to make it happen.
Nixa’s Strategic Plan is a document that defines our vision & values, priorities, and goals for the municipal government.
The city listened to its citizens in the development of this plan by inviting everyone who loves this community to help us imagine Nixa’s future. The plan was drafted by the Strategic Planning Advisory Committee (made up of 15 Nixa residents) who worked with city staff to review the community input and ensure the plan addresses the challenges facing the community and the municipal government.
Now we are inviting the community to learn about the plan, ask questions about it, and hold us accountable to it. The plan was adopted by City Council on Nov. 23, 2020. Now we get to work.
