Congrats Shane Butler on this effort! We are proud to partner with you and the other ST8 counties on your strategic planning efforts through funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). Strategic planning is more than a roadmap—it’s a foundation for growth and stability. In community and economic development, we know that success doesn’t happen by chance. It requires a clear, actionable strategy that aligns local priorities with long-term opportunities. For regions like ours, strategic planning isn’t just important—it’s essential. It ensures we’re not just responding to challenges, but shaping our future with purpose. Here’s why strategic planning is critical: Maximizes resources: By identifying shared goals, we focus investments where they have the most impact. Drives collaboration: Strategic plans unite stakeholders—businesses, governments, and communities—around a common vision Builds stability: Thoughtful planning strengthens infrastructure, workforce, and housing, laying the groundwork for economic growth. Anticipates change: In an evolving economy, a strong strategy helps communities adapt and thrive. #StrategicPlanning #EconomicDevelopment #CommunityGrowth #PlaceDrivenDevelopment #southerntier Jen Gregory Kyle Wilber
