What is the Hastings County Strategic Plan?

The Hastings County 2024-2026 Strategic Plan, is a three-year guiding document designed to enhance the delivery of services and to ensure a focused response to residents' and businesses' needs and priorities across all of our communities. With the goal of creating a strategic plan that is built on a foundation of collaboration and engagement, Hastings County conducted 24 interviews with members of our Joint Committees and Council as well as our Department Heads. Hastings County also distributed three surveys, collecting 500 responses from residents, businesses, local elected officials and Hastings County staff.

The strategic plan strives to assist Hastings County in meeting its vision: People and businesses thrive in Hastings County because of its support for individuals and families, strong communities, its natural beauty, and respect for its history and traditions. To reach this vision, Hastings County has identified four strategic pillars and goals, aligned with objectives and actions to support the successful implementation of the plan.
