2025 Strategic Plan Update

In March 2025, City Council directed staff to initiate an update to the City's Strategic Plan. The City of Reno is in the process of developing its three-year Strategic Plan, which will guide how we deliver services, invest in our community, and plan for the future. The plan incorporates insights gathered through our community-wide survey, strategic planning workshops, and various other engagement efforts with residents, City staff, and City Council. The drafting of the plan is now underway and will align City operations with strategic goals while establishing clear measures to track progress. Adoption of the final plan is anticipated by July 1, 2026. 

The City Council held a strategic planning workshop on October 29, 2025 hearing presentations on the economic outlook of Reno and insights gathered to develop recommendations on priorities.
