2025/26 Strategic Plan Update

The City of Reno is in the process of developing its three-year Strategic Plan for FY27-29, which will guide how we deliver services, invest in our community, and plan for the future.

In March 2025, City Council directed staff to initiate an update to the City's Strategic Plan to replace the previously adopted plan from 2019. The planning update process incorporates insights gathered through our community-wide survey, strategic planning workshops, and various other engagement efforts with residents, City staff, and City Council.

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. During the workshop, Council adopted a new set of priorities focused on

After the October workshop, the strategic planning team worked with City leadership to draft the plan based on Council's direction and vision. 

Beginning in the Spring of 2026, the City's strategic planning team brought each section of the strategic plan to Council for review and discussion. Each section provided Council with the opportunity to weigh in on their priorities for the section and give feedback for incorporation in the final draft. Once each section is discussed, the draft plan will be available for community review and feedback. 

Community Feedback: Community feedback will be open from June 11 - June 30, 2026 to finalize and refine the plan. This will also be an opportunity for the community to learn more about the priorities and why they matter for Reno at this time. A community webinar about the FY27-29 Strategic Plan is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, 2026 at noon for the public to learn more about the plan, ask questions, and provide any additional feedback into the final document.

The final plan is scheduled to be adopted after the community review process is complete.
